Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Associated With T-cell Lymphoma in Pregnancy: Diagnostic Conundrum Unveiled.
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
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) during pregnancy is a rare and often misdiagnosed disease. The clinical manifestations are non-specific, contributing to a high maternal mortality rate. This case report details the presentation of a 31-year-old pregnant woman with high-grade fever initially treated as an infection-related condition. The diagnostic challenge arose from the rarity of HLH, its variable clinical presentation, and the lack of specificity in clinical and laboratory findings. Despite numerous tests and escalation of therapies, the patient, unfortunately, succumbed to HLH associated with T-cell lymphoma. This case report aims to raise awareness of HLH, emphasizing its challenging definition. Malignancy-associated HLH is not uncommon, and early identification and treatment are paramount to prevent progressive tissue damage, organ failure, and mortality. The atypical presentation of HLH as a clinical manifestation of T-cell lymphoma underscores the need for vigilance in diagnosing this potentially fatal syndrome.
