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

This case study reports a young man with hypertension who presented to eye casualty and was incidentally diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APML). Dilated fundus examination showed multiple retinal flame haemorrhages from the optic discs with scattered exudates bilaterally. Optical coherence tomography showed left cystoid macular oedema. He had preserved vision bilaterally and was systemically well with no constitutional symptoms. This case report is the first of our knowledge that reports on this unusual clinical presentation of APML. The patient successfully completed 29 days of induction all-
