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

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) shows marked prognostic heterogeneity. Although leukocytosis is a recognized adverse prognostic factor, the contribution of its individual components remains insufficiently defined. In a cohort of 240 patients classified according to International Consensus Classification (ICC) and World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 criteria-including 23% with oligomonocytic CMML-we evaluated the prognostic impact of neutrophil and monocyte percentage, along with surrogate markers of their relative increase, including relative lymphopenia (<20%) and elevated monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR > 1). Both relative lymphopenia and MLR > 1 emerged as independent adverse prognostic factors, correlating with adverse mutations (
