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

Objective: Acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL) constitutes a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia in clinical practice and exhibits a high degree of heterogeneity. This study endeavors to explore the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of AMKL, offering novel perspectives for both basic and clinical investigations of rare myeloid tumors in the fields of oncology and hematology. Methods: The clinical data of 23 patients with AMKL admitted to the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Putian University, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University from January 2014 to July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of AMKL patients were examined. Additionally, the latest literature in the PubMed database was retrieved for review and discussion regarding the research advancements of AMKL and its diagnosis and treatment. Results: A total of 23 patients with AMKL were encompassed in this study, the clinical manifestations of all patients were predominantly hematological non-specific symptoms, such as anemia, bleeding, infection, and invasive swelling or occupation of tissues and organs. All patients underwent bone marrow puncture biopsy, cytochemical staining of bone marrow cells of AMKL patients demonstrated that the staining of POX, NAS-DCE, and hot brine test were negative, however, the PAS staining, Conclusion: AMKL is infrequent in clinical practice, features a poor prognosis, lacks specificity in clinical manifestations, and is prone to misdiagnosis or omission. Clinical trials of new drugs should be prioritized, while close monitoring of measurable residual disease (MRD) should be implemented. Patients with AMKL might benefit from induced remission chemotherapy combined with novel targeted therapy. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation should be carried out as soon as possible after the first CR induced by standard chemotherapy to optimize the prognosis.
