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

Leukemia cutis is an uncommon extramedullary manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) caused by infiltration of the skin by leukemic blasts. Its clinical morphology is highly variable and may mimic infectious, inflammatory, or other neoplastic dermatoses, making tissue diagnosis essential. We report a 49-year-old man who presented with fever, epistaxis, and multifocal nodular and ulcerated skin lesions involving the right wrist, chest, and scalp, as well as gingival hyperplasia. Skin biopsy was reported to confirm cutaneous myeloid sarcoma, consistent with leukemia cutis in the setting of AML. Histopathology demonstrated dense dermal infiltration by atypical myeloid cells with relative epidermal sparing. The patient was diagnosed with AML with cutaneous involvement and was started on systemic chemotherapy. This case emphasizes the importance of early biopsy of suspicious skin lesions in patients with known or suspected hematologic malignancy and highlights the adverse prognostic implications of leukemia cutis.
