Severe ARDS due to Ruxolitinib discontinuation syndrome: case presentation and literature review.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Discontinuation of Ruxolitinib (RUX), a JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, can induce symptom-relapse and even life-threatening adverse events. Due to increasing use of RUX, this so-called RUX discontinuation syndrome (RDS) is becoming more prevalent. To create better awareness for this potentially fatal syndrome, we present a case of an adult male who developed a fatal RDS. Results: Our case presented with acute respiratory failure and a shock-like syndrome, with the need for mechanical ventilation, venovenous-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and vasopressors. Respiratory symptoms quickly improved after initiation of corticosteroids, but disease course was complicated with a spontaneous spleen rupture leading to hemorrhagic shock and eventually death. Conclusion: This case report is the first case of severe RDS necessitating vv-ECMO and complicated with spleen rupture. Clinicians should be aware of this potentially lethal syndrome as it can present acutely but be effectively treated with corticosteroids and/or restarting JAK-inhibitors.
