A Rare Case of Partial Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Intestinal Myeloid Sarcoma.
Article in Cureus, 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
This case report details a rare case of small bowel myeloid sarcoma (MS) in an otherwise fit and well 49-year-old male presenting initially with vague obstructive symptoms and weight loss. The patient ultimately required an operation for a small bowel obstruction where a laparotomy and small bowel resection were performed due to three cicatrising completely obstructing lesions in the mid-jejunum. Fewer than 1% of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) present with MS as an initial diagnosis, and only 6.5% of these are intestinal in origin. This report adds to the current body of literature on this rare condition, emphasises the diagnostic challenges resulting in delays to diagnosis, and discusses the crucial role of early and accurate identification for optimal treatment and prognosis. Surgery may be warranted in patients with complications such as obstruction; however, systemic chemotherapy tailored to AML is the primary therapeutic approach for MS patients.
