A rare case of spinal myeloid sarcoma.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Myeloid sarcoma (MS), a rare extramedullary tumor composed of myeloid blast cells, is classified by the World Health Organization as a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Isolated, primary, or nonleukemic MS has an incidence of 2/1,000,000 adults and constitutes only 0.7% of all AML cases. MS presentations vary widely, with spinal involvement being rare. Case Description: A-year-old male presented with interscapular pain radiating to the right upper arm/neck but was neurologically intact. Once diagnosed with isolated spinal MS, he underwent a surgical decompression followed by local irradiation, systemic chemotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation. Eight months postoperatively, however, he experienced a graft-versus-host rejection and required additional therapies. Conclusion: Establishing the diagnosis of MS is challenging and typically requires histological confirmation (i.e., the presence of myeloblasts and granulocytic cells). However, optimal treatment strategies remain elusive; despite radiation, chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant/other local therapies, the overall long-term prognosis for MS remains poor.
