Neutropenic Enterocolitis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Morbus Behcet: Pivotal Role of Medical Imaging and Multidisciplinary Management in a Complex Clinical Case.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimNeutropenic enterocolitis (NE), also known as typhlitis, is a life-threatening gastrointestinal complication primarily affecting immunocompromised patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Its management becomes particularly challenging when compounded by comorbidities such as Behçet's disease with gastrointestinal involvement. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 44-year-old male with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and intestinal Behçet's disease who developed severe NE during induction chemotherapy. Initial conservative management was guided by serial cross-sectional imaging, which revealed progressive bowel wall thickening, pneumatosis intestinalis, and signs of ileus. The clinical course was complicated by septic shock, multiorgan dysfunction, and later, acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Active arterial bleeding was identified via computed tomography angiography and successfully treated with interventional radiological coil embolization. Surgical intervention was avoided. Multidisciplinary collaboration, including hematology, radiology, rheumatology, intensive care, and pain management, was essential in navigating this complex clinical scenario.
conclusionThis case highlights the pivotal role of radiological imaging in diagnosing and monitoring NE and demonstrates the value of interventional radiology as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery. In patients with overlapping autoimmune and oncological pathologies, individualized, multidisciplinary management is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
