Atraumatic Splenic Rupture as an Unusual Presentation of Hairy Cell Leukemia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) represents a rare B-cell malignancy with 2% of all leukemias and should be differentiated from HCL-like conditions, including HCL-variant (HCL-V) and splenic diffuse red pulp lymphoma (SDRPL). HCL gets its name from the short, thin projections that look like hair on its cells. It is associated with a specific immunophenotypic profile, cytopenia, and splenomegaly. Spontaneous splenic rupture can be a symptom of hematological malignancy such as HCL and is a life-threatening acute emergency. Here, we present a case of a 37-year-old man who presented to the hospital with signs of acute peritonitis and acute anemia and was found to have atraumatic splenic rupture secondary to splenomegaly. He underwent emergent angiography, where the bleeding splenic vessel was identified, and the patient was successfully treated with embolization. Immunophenotypic profile revealed that B-cells were positive for CD11c, CD103, CD25, and CD5, for which he received five days of cladribine and achieved complete clinical remission.
