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

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a subtype of mature B-cell proliferative neoplasms characterized by abnormally increasing lymphocytes in circulation. The diagnosis of CLL is usually established on peripheral blood analysis and typical flow cytometric immunophenotype rather than biopsy. In particular, the high RMH (Royal Marsden Hospital Scoring System for CLL) score of immunophenotype has a highly sensitive weight for diagnostic value. However, immunophenotyping by flow cytometry may also be misleading in specific clinical situations. Here, we report a case on admission with lymphadenopathy and lymphocytosis, misdiagnosed as chronic lymphocytic leukemia by flow cytometry initially but finally confirmed as follicular lymphoma (FL) in the leukemic phase
