Fatal Differentiation Syndrome Complicating Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Treatment: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report the case of a 42-year-old female diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), who developed differentiation syndrome (DS) on day 14 during induction therapy with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) with sudden-onset dyspnea, abdominal pain, tachycardia, and fever. Her laboratory findings were remarkable for acute kidney injury (AKI), worsening leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and lactic acidosis. She was also found to have flash pulmonary edema and a pericardial effusion. Despite immediate dexamethasone and methylprednisolone administration along with cessation of induction therapy, she continued to worsen and suffered a non-shockable cardiac arrest. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved, but she was in profound shock requiring multiple vasopressors. The patient suffered repeat cardiac arrest later that day and passed away within 24 hours. DS is a potentially life-threatening complication in APL treatment, occurring in about 25% of APL patients and posing significant treatment challenges.
