Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm: A Case Report.
Article in Iranian journal of pathology, 2025. 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
A rare condition, blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, is classified as acute myeloid leukemia-related precursor neoplasms according to the World Health Organization's 2022 classification. Previously thought to originate from natural killer cells, T cells, or monocytes, it is now believed to arise from plasmacytoid dendritic cells. The cause of this condition is not well understood, but it is often associated with the deletion of tumor suppressor genes such as RB1, CDKN1B, CDKN2A, and TP53. The disease is aggressive and typically presents with initial cutaneous lesions that can progress to bone marrow involvement and leukemic dissemination. Flow cytometry/ immunohistochemistry can detect enhanced CD56, CD4, and CD123 expression. The differential diagnoses include myeloid sarcoma/acute myeloid leukemia, T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, NK-cell lymphoma/leukemia, and certain mature T-cell lymphomas/leukemias. Although initial chemotherapy may elicit a patient response, relapse is common. Survival may be improved by stem cell transplantation. This case report details the medical history of a 64-year-old woman who presented with a skin mass that exhibited slow growth over 6 months. The mass was firm on palpation. Extensive testing, including a bone marrow (BM) smear and biopsy, revealed numerous abnormal or blastic cells. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis of the BM confirmed the presence of plasmacytoid dendritic cell-neoplastic precursor cells exhibiting CD4+ and CD56+ characteristics.
