Adalimumab-associated Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in a patient with Crohn's disease.
Review in BMJ case reports, 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
The US Food and Drug Administration has approved TNF(Tumor necrosis factor) alpha inhibitors to manage a range of inflammatory conditions, including Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and other inflammatory disorders. However, these inhibitors can potentially increase the risk of secondary blood malignancies due to TNF alpha's role in various cellular processes such as angiogenesis, cell cycle proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. In this article, we present a unique case study of a patient who developed Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) while receiving adalimumab, a potent monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to TNF-alpha. We describe the patient's successful treatment using standard-of-care chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, resulting in complete remission with no measurable residual disease. Furthermore, we conducted a literature review on this subject and identified five similar cases of ALL associated with TNF alpha inhibitors.
