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

Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare hematologic disorder caused by the proliferation of specialized dendritic cells. Pulmonary manifestations occur in 20% to 50% of multisystem disease, but isolated pulmonary disease is rare. Spontaneous pneumothorax occurs in up to 10% of pediatric pulmonary cases. We present the case of a 3-year-old boy who presented for tachypnea and chest pain with cough, rhinorrhea, and congestion. He was discharged with a diagnosis of upper respiratory infection. The patient returned to the emergency department and was found to have a tension pneumothorax, which was emergently treated with thoracostomy. The subsequent workup revealed Langerhans cell histiocytosis with pulmonary disease and jaw involvement. Although tension pneumothorax is often associated with trauma, several medical conditions are predispositional.
