ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a 56-Year-Old Man With Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Case Report.

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
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the most common form of acute leukemia, is an aggressive lethal hematological malignancy that mainly occurs in older adults with a slightly higher predominance in males. It is prompted by the clonal expansion of immature myeloid blasts in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and/or extramedullary tissues. Leukostasis in AML is a critical medical condition mainly affecting the lungs and brain and arises when tissue perfusion is compromised due to the clustering of white blood cells (WBCs) within the microvasculature. Cardiac involvement in this condition is exceptionally uncommon. Here, we present a case of a 56-year-old man, recently diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia M4 and leukostasis, who developed acute anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction six days after presentation and in whom emergent coronary angiography showed proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery lesion with a large clot obstructing the flow and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) I flow, and urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was done; thromboaspiration and drug-coated balloon angioplasty were performed with good angiographic results. Antiplatelet (aspirin and clopidogrel) and anticoagulation (enoxaparin) were started immediately before PCI. Emergent leukapheresis was initiated in addition to hydroxyurea with complete resolution of chest pain. Four days post PCI, the patient developed right-sided hemiparesis with an evident infarct on a CT scan of the brain, and he also developed acute limb ischemia involving the distal right foot. Five days post PCI, the patient had a sudden sustained ventricular tachycardia followed immediately by asystole, and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation was done for 25 minutes but with no response.
