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

Although there have been some reports of oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) in patients with hematologic neoplasms, to the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to report this lesion affecting a patient with polycythemia vera. A 54-year-old male patient diagnosed with polycythemia vera presented with non-removable white patches with a rough surface on the bilateral border of the tongue. According to clinical, histopathological and in situ hybridization features, OHL was established. Two months after diagnosis, the patient developed splenomegaly and initiated ruxolitinib. Bone marrow biopsy showed post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis. The patient underwent allogeneic haploidentical hematopoietic stem-cell transplant, achieving complete remission of the oral lesion. OHL is an important marker of immunosuppression. In the present case, OHL was diagnosed during the progression of polycythemia vera to myelofibrosis and its early diagnosis may have contributed to a better clinical outcome.
