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

T-large granular lymphocyte leukemia (T-LGLL) is an uncommon chronic lymphoproliferative syndrome marked by clonal proliferation of cytotoxic (CD8+) T cells. It is usually characterized by cytopenia, particularly neutropenia, and may be associated with autoimmune disease. We report a case of a 56-year-old Moroccan female patient presenting with a 2-month history of dry eye syndrome, asthenia, and severe neutropenia. Initial investigations revealed lymphocytosis, and the peripheral blood smear revealed approximately 13% of large granular lymphocytes. Flow cytometry confirmed T-LGLL with a CD3+, CD8+, CD57+ phenotype. First-line treatment with low-dose methotrexate yielded no improvement after six months. The patient was then successfully treated with oral cyclophosphamide, with normalization of neutrophil and hemoglobin levels, and resolution of sicca symptoms. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and tailored immunosuppressive therapy in managing T-LGLL, particularly in patients with severe neutropenia.
