Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia Presenting as Cardiac Failure.
Article in Case reports in hematology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a rare chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by sustained eosinophilia. Although the incidence of CEL is uncertain, it can be clinically devastating as it has a propensity to affect several important organ systems. This is of particular significance in Sub-Saharan Africa where helminthic infections are a more prevalent cause of eosinophilia. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first reported case of CEL complicated by cardiac disease in a Ghanaian. He presented with a history of orthopnoea and dyspnoea on exertion, and examination revealed a pansystolic murmur over the mitral region and moderate splenomegaly. Good symptomatic control was achieved using hydroxyurea after which haematologic and cytogenetic remission was achieved after 12 weeks on a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Physicians working in low resource environments should exclude clonality in patients presenting with eosinophilia and end-organ damage.
