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

Myeloid sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor composed of myeloid blasts, most commonly involving the skin, lymph nodes, and soft tissues. We report a rare case of myeloid sarcoma of the central nervous system (CNS) causing neuropsychiatric symptoms in an elderly woman with a history of JAK2-positive polycythemia vera and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in long-term remission. The patient presented with a one-month history of complex visual hallucinations, short-term memory loss, and personality changes. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 2.4-cm enhancing mass in the septum pellucidum extending between the frontal horns of the lateral ventricle. Cytological analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid showed pleocytosis, and flow cytometry identified a 50% population of CD34 + blasts, consistent with the immunophenotype of the patient's prior biopsy-proven AML. This case highlights an exceedingly unusual presentation of AML relapse and emphasizes the need for clinicians to consider CNS involvement in hematologic patients presenting with new-onset neuropsychiatric symptoms, regardless of remission status.
