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

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) is a rare leukemia that leads to complications of renal toxicity, infections, leukocytosis, hemorrhaging, and disseminated intravascular coagulation, which is fatal. APML normally presents with bruising, bleeding, weakness, and infections. Patients can present with chest pain and shortness of breath due to coagulopathy. The workup for APML usually occurs when patients' labs return with leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. Here, we report a case of a 75-year-old female with a past medical history of bronchiectasis, hypertension, and rheumatic fever who presented with chest pain and shortness of breath with elevated troponins and a normal EKG. The patient had worsened thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, and an elevated D-dimer that did not resolve with steroids. The following report presents a patient diagnosed with APML with the initial symptoms of chest pain and shortness of breath without signs of acute coronary syndrome, leading to the diagnosis and treatment with ATRA.
