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

Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells that is often associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We herein report an 81-year-old man who presented with intestinal obstruction due to myeloid sarcoma of the small intestine. Diagnostic challenges were overcome using double-balloon enteroscopy and a biopsy, which confirmed the diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma. The patient subsequently developed AML but responded well to chemotherapy. This case underscores the importance of considering myeloid sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of small-bowel tumors. Highlighting the significance of a histological analysis, even in patients presenting with small bowel obstruction, the early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes, particularly in patients without a history of hematologic malignancies.
