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

This case report describes a 2-month-old girl with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) harboring the t(1;22)(p13;q13) translocation, resulting in the RBM15::MRTFA fusion gene. She presented with massive hepatosplenomegaly and liver fibrosis and achieved complete remission with chemotherapy; the liver fibrosis resolved within 2.5 months. After 12 years of follow-up, the patient remained in good health, without relapse. Reviewing the literature on eight additional similar cases of liver fibrosis, this subtype of AMKL predominantly affects female patients below 3 months of age, with a median onset at 6 weeks. High rates of severe complications were observed, with five of nine patients dying within 10 weeks of diagnosis. The authors hypothesized that the proliferation of abnormal megakaryoblasts within the liver leads to the release of profibrotic cytokines, such as TGF-β1, which induces liver fibrosis similar to that observed in transient abnormal myelopoiesis in Down syndrome. Careful monitoring of liver functions and reduced-intensity chemotherapy are recommended for this very young patient population. Nonetheless, long-term survival can be achieved with aggressive supportive care and treatment.
