Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia With Myeloid Sarcoma in the Temporal Bone: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
We report a case of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) with myeloid sarcoma of the temporal bone. The patient was a 14-month-old boy who experienced prolonged bleeding after myringotomy. Endoscopic examination revealed redness and swelling in the left ear. Computed tomography (CT) showed a mastoid cavity filled with soft tissue and bone destruction. Seven days after the first consultation, the patient developed a fever and gait disturbances and was hospitalized. Enhanced CT showed bone destruction of the left ilium and fourth lumbar vertebra, and a tumor lesion around the left ilium. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a tumor extending from the left petrous bone to the cerebellopontine angle. The patient underwent a mastoidectomy and tumor biopsy. Histopathological examination of the tumor revealed a myeloid sarcoma, suggestive of acute myeloid leukemia. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with AMKL. The patient underwent standard multi-agent chemotherapy, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. At the 50-month follow-up, the patient continued to be in remission. In cases with unusual symptoms such as continuous bleeding after myringotomy, temporal bone CT scans should be promptly considered to identify tumors or hematological diseases.
