Kidney Transplantation for Erdheim-Chester Disease.
Article in Case reports in transplantation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 is a rare inflammatory disease that infiltrates skeletal and extra-skeletal tissue. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Erdheim-Chester disease is usually attributed to retroperitoneal lesions that lead to urologic obstruction and hydronephrosis. In this report, we describe a patient diagnosed with Erdheim-Chester disease who eventually developed end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). After complete remission of Erdheim-Chester disease by vemurafenib therapy and 2 years of hemodialysis, the patient underwent a deceased donor kidney transplantation with basiliximab induction and tacrolimus/mycophenolic acid maintenance. After conversion of mycophenolic acid to azathioprine due to cost, acute cellular rejection had occurred, and he was treated with steroid therapy. The patient remained in complete remission from Erdheim-Chester disease and dialysis-free 16 months after transplant. Kidney transplantation is another treatment option for those patients with Erdheim-Chester disease who suffer from renal failure in the setting of complete remission.
