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

backgroundThe Coexistence of myeloid and lymphoid malignancies is rare. Myeloid leukemia occurs more frequently as a secondary event in patients receiving chemotherapy agents for lymphoid malignancies. Synchronous diagnoses of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and untreated lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM) in the same patient have not been reported. Here we report one such case. CASE SUMMARY: An 89-year-old man had a chest wall mass histopathologically diagnosed as DLBCL. The bone marrow and peripheral blood contained two groups of cells. One group of cells fulfilled the criteria of AML, and the other revealed the features of small B lymphocytic proliferative disorder, which we considered LPL/WM. Multiple chromosomal or genetic changes were detected in bone marrow mononuclear cells, including

conclusionThe coexistence of DLBCL, AML, and untreated LPL/WM in the same patient is extremely rare, which probably results from multiple steps of genetic abnormalities. Asymptomatic LPL/WM might have occurred first, then myelodysplastic syndrome-related AML developed, and finally aggressive DLBCL arose. Therefore, medical staff should pay attention to this rare phenomenon to avoid misdiagnoses.
