Visceral Leishmaniasis Following A+AVD Treatment in a Patient with Classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 present the case of a 43-year-old Caucasian man who developed visceral leishmaniasis (VL) following treatment with a combination of brentuximab vedotin and doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (A+AVD) for advanced-stage classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL). The patient initially showed a favorable response to the treatment, but shortly after completing six cycles, he experienced recurrent fever, splenomegaly, and severe anemia. Extensive infectious disease evaluations led to a diagnosis of VL, confirmed by PCR testing. The patient was treated with amphotericin B, resulting in full clinical recovery. In addition to presenting this rare case, we conducted a full review of the literature on VL in the context of hematological disorders, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, splenic marginal zone lymphoma, and other lymphoproliferative diseases. This review highlights the increasing prevalence of VL in immunocompromised individuals, particularly those undergoing treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy, and underscores the importance of considering VL in differential diagnoses when such patients present with persistent fever and splenomegaly.
