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
Introduction: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with myeloid sarcoma (MS) seldom occurring at onset. Myelofibrosis (MF) is a condition characterized by megakaryocytic proliferation and atypia with an array of clinical findings, but MF secondary to APL treatment is extremely rare. MF secondary occurring after treatment of APL with MS as the initial presentation has not been reported. Case report: A 73-year-old male was admitted to our hospital in August 2016, presenting with a pain in his left shoulder, followed by right shoulder and bilateral hip pain. A progressive increase in a mass in the right sternoclavicular joint was also observed. After comprehensive examines, he was diagnosed as APL with MS as the initial manifestation in April 2017. The patient then underwent induction, consolidation, and maintenance therapies until August 2019 and achieved complete remission. However, twice examinations in December 2020 and September 2022 confirmed that MF was present. Conclusion: This is the first case of MF secondary occurring after treatment of APL with MS. Early recognition of MS in APL patients is crucial for timely intervention and treatment initiation. Meticulous diagnostic work-up and careful monitoring during treatment are necessary to detect potential complications, which may significantly impact the patients' outcome. Also, a comprehensive management approach encompassing induction, consolidation, and maintenance therapies should be adopted to ensure optimal therapeutic responses and reduce the risk of recurrence or treatment-related complications.
