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
T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia (T-PLL) is an aggressive and rare post-thymic T cell malignancy, highly refractory to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapeutics. While extranodal involvement is common, solid organ invasion is rare. We present the case of a 76-year-old man who developed acute renal failure secondary to T-PLL renal infiltration. On day four of his admission, prior to commencing alemtuzumab, his creatinine rose from 133 μmol/L to 390 μmol/L, with anuria. Renal biopsy demonstrated an infiltrate of monomorphic, mononuclear cells positive for a STAT5B mutation, consistent with T-PLL infiltration. He required haemodialysis, but was treated with pulsed methylprednisolone and alemtuzumab, with excellent renal recovery, although remission was not achieved. This case demonstrates that renal leukaemic infiltration must be considered in T-PLL patients with rapidly progressive renal failure, and that solid organ invasion should not contraindicate timely commencement of T-PLL-directed therapy with alemtuzumab.
