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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is rare in infancy, with monocytic subtypes such as acute myelomonocytic leukemia often demonstrating extramedullary involvement. This report describes a 10-month-old male infant presenting with firm bilateral testicular enlargement and multiple parietal scalp nodules, accompanied by leukocytosis and circulating blasts in peripheral blood. Bone marrow examination confirmed French-American-British (FAB) M4 AML. Scrotal ultrasound demonstrated heterogeneous masses, and computed tomography identified scalp chloromas without bone erosion. The patient received AML chemotherapy, resulting in resolution of extramedullary lesions and achievement of remission. This case underscores the importance of early hematologic evaluation in infants with bilateral testicular masses to prevent misdiagnosis. It illustrates the rare occurrence of concurrent testicular and scalp chloromas as the initial manifestation of infant AML.
