B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Presenting as Acute Liver Injury: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 a case of a patient with jaundice who was referred to our facility due to markedly elevated liver enzymes and pancytopenia. The patient's only symptom was jaundice, prompting an initial evaluation at an outside hospital, where laboratory tests revealed significantly elevated liver enzymes and pancytopenia, leading to referral for further assessment. The presence of both elevated liver enzymes and pancytopenia helped narrow the differential diagnoses. Persistent pancytopenia necessitated a bone marrow biopsy for definitive diagnosis. Additionally, given the ongoing elevation of liver enzymes without an apparent infectious or inflammatory cause, a liver biopsy was also performed. The results revealed leukemic infiltration of the liver and the presence of B-cell leukemia in the bone marrow. Further laboratory findings met the diagnostic criteria for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to leukemia. The patient was treated with steroid therapy for HLH, followed by chemotherapy and immunotherapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, leading to sustained remission and normalization of liver function. Thirteen months after diagnosis, the patient remains in good health and continues blinatumomab-prednisone, vincristine, 6-mercaptopurine, and methotrexate consolidation therapy.
