1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an infrequently encountered chronic B-lymphocyte hematological malignancy, which is found to be more prevalent in males. HCL can present with a myriad of nonspecific symptoms involving the reticuloendothelial system. Usually, patients are diagnosed after an incidental finding of pancytopenia. In the majority of cases, HCL follows an indolent course, and many patients remain asymptomatic. Treatment with nucleoside analogs is the first line of treatment and is indicated for patients with severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, or severe systemic symptoms. Here, we report an atypical case of a 41-year-old Hispanic female who presented with menorrhagia and iron deficiency anemia. She was diagnosed with HCL after a bone marrow biopsy demonstrated the characteristic "hairy projections."
