A Rare Case of Erdheim-Chester Disease (Non-Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis) with Concurrent Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge.

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
Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocyte disorder most commonly characterized by multifocal osteosclerotic lesions of the long bones demonstrating sheets of foamy histiocyte infiltrates on biopsy with or without histiocytic infiltration of extraskeletal tissues. ECD can be difficult to diagnose since it is a very rare disease that can affect many organ systems. Diagnosis is based on the pathologic evaluation of involved tissue interpreted within the clinical context. Patients who have the BRAF V600E mutation are treated first line with vemurafenib. For those without the mutation with symptomatic ECD, conventional or PEGylated interferon alpha is recommended. For patients who are either intolerant or nonresponsive to interferon alpha, systemic chemotherapy with or without corticosteroids can be used. We present a rare case of Erdheim-Chester disease with concurrent Langerhans cell histiocytosis which occurs in only one fifth of the cases and often presents as a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
