Phlegmonous Gastritis as the First Presentation of Acute Leukemia: 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. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Phlegmonous gastritis (PG) is a serious and severe suppurative gastric infection. Diagnosis is delayed due to its uncommon and non-specific clinical presentation. This led to a high mortality rate; however, early treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics can reduce mortality and complications. We describe a case of a 56-year-old patient who presented with severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and pyrexia. Blood tests showed pancytopenia, and she was newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) on this admission. Her computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic evaluation showed thickening and swelling of the gastric wall consistent with PG. She responded well to conservative treatment, and she is on regular follow-up as an outpatient. This case highlights the importance of suspecting PG in severe abdominal pain and neutropenia. This will reduce the complications, mortality, and requirement for surgical intervention.
