Severe haemorrhagic diathesis due to acquired hypofibrinogenemia in a patient with early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma: 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
The most frequent haematological malignancy associated with acquired hypo/dysfibrinogenemia is multiple myeloma. We present an unusual case of severe haemorrhagic diathesis due to acquired hypofibrinogenemia in a patient with early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma (ETP-ALL/LBL). A 57-year-old male was admitted to the General Internal Medicine Department of Padova University Hospital for acute massive haematomas of the left lower extremity associated with macrohaematuria. Coagulation tests showed prolonged prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time due to isolated severe hypofibrinogenemia (antigen 0.70 g/L and activity 26%). The radiological workup showed a bulky lesion located in the anterior mediastinum, and a biopsy led to the diagnosis of ETP-ALL/LBL. Fibrinogen replacement therapy failed to correct the bleeding diathesis and we were able to exclude other frequent causes of acquired hypofibrinogenemia (i.e., liver dysfunction, fibrinogen-specific antibody or drug toxicity); therefore, we hypothesised that hypofibrinogenemia might stem either from enhanced removal of fibrinogen from the circulation or consumptive coagulopathy. Notably, only after initiating a specific chemotherapy treatment did the patient start showing improvement in bleeding symptoms and achieve normal fibrinogen levels.
