Hypercalcemia and Flower Cells on Peripheral Smear Revealing Human T-lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1)-Associated Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma.
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
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a rare, aggressive peripheral T-cell malignancy caused by human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), most commonly affecting individuals from endemic regions. Diagnosis is challenging and often delayed due to low clinical suspicion and overlapping features with other hematologic and systemic disorders. A characteristic finding on peripheral blood smear is the presence of "flower cells," atypical lymphocytes with deeply lobulated, petal-like, or cloverleaf nuclei and condensed chromatin, which is considered highly suggestive of acute-type disease. This case describes a 59-year-old female diagnosed with ATLL presenting with severe hypercalcemia and characteristic flower cells on peripheral smear, despite lacking recognized epidemiologic risk factors for HTLV-1 infection.
