1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Few cases of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)-eosinophilia (ALL-eo) association have been reported. The lack or absence of blasts in the peripheral blood smear (PBS) along with urticarial rash, fever, arthralgia, myalgia, sweating, and dyspnea are common features of this condition. Herein, we report a 16-year-old male patient admitted to the emergency department with urticaria and generalized itching. PBS was examined, and eosinophils (90%) were seen in different fields. However, blast cells were not seen in PBS. In a bone marrow examination, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-positive and CD20-positive lymphoid blasts were reported along with eosinophilia. Eventually, the B-ALL diagnosis was confirmed for the patient, and he was started on the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster chemotherapy regimen. The association of B-ALL with hypereosinophilia is a rare condition. We hope this case report and literature review can help clinicians to manage this rare condition properly.
