Myeloblastic meningeal neoplasm: an unusual natural history.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Myeloid sarcoma is a very rare extramedullary malignant tumour, most often associated with acute myeloid leukaemia. We report the case of a man in his early 20s who presented with chronic headache, raised intracranial pressure and progressive vision loss of 2 years duration with no systemic manifestations. He had a history of myeloid sarcoma of the left thigh 15 years ago, treated with external beam radiotherapy and in complete remission for more than 13 years. However, the progressive blindness remained unexplained for 2 years, and he was eventually diagnosed with isolated meningeal relapse without marrow or systemic involvement. Imaging revealed subarachnoid haemorrhage, diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement and involvement of lower dorsal cord and conus, and cerebrospinal fluid cytology showed myeloid blasts. He was managed with intrathecal chemotherapy and craniospinal irradiation, after which he had mild improvement in vision.
