A Rare Case of Leukemoid Reaction During Mechanical Circulatory Support in a Patient With Severe Heart Failure: An Autopsy Study.
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
The leukemoid reaction (LR) is reported to be caused by severe stress conditions such as infection, malignancies, intoxication, severe hemorrhage, or acute hemolysis; this condition is attributed to a very severe prognosis. Some reports have suggested that the LR was associated with a systemic stress response. A 36-year-old man who required mechanical circulatory support (MCS), including veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and Impella 5.5 due to severe heart failure, was transferred to our hospital. He showed a markedly elevated WBC count and died of multiple organ failure. The autopsy revealed the possibility that leukocytosis might have been due to an LR; however, the cause of the cardiac failure was unknown. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to report a rare case of LR in a patient with severe heart failure requiring MCS.
