Pronounced Reductions in Plasma Citrulline Indicate Severe Intestinal Mucosal Barrier Injury During Induction Therapy for Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Article in European journal of haematology, 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
objectivesPediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) chemotherapy regimens are frequently burdened by fever episodes, systemic inflammation and bloodstream infections (BSI). Mucosal barrier injury may contribute to these complications, but its role in childhood AML remains uninvestigated. This study assessed mucosal barrier injury using plasma citrulline and examined associations with inflammation, fever, and BSI.
methodsTwenty children (1-16 years) with AML were prospectively studied during two induction courses (NOPHO-DBH AML 2012 protocol). Plasma citrulline was measured weekly from days 1-29 of each course.
resultsAll patients exhibited marked reductions in citrulline during both inductions, reaching nadir on day 15 and recovering by day 29. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels > 50 mg/L occurred in 19/20 patients, and 10/20 developed BSI. Fever occurred in all patients during induction I and in 16/19 during induction II. Severe mucosal damage (citrulline AUC) correlated with higher CRP and more febrile days, particularly in induction II (r
conclusionsPediatric AML treatment causes significant mucosal barrier injury, which is associated with inflammatory and infectious complications and may represent a target for supportive interventions.
