An Elderly Smoker Presenting With Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: An Unusual Demographic.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare neoplastic condition that occurs almost exclusively in young smokers and presents with multiple solid and/or cystic nodules in a primarily upper lobe distribution on chest imaging. Frequently, suspicion arises incidentally on imaging performed for alternative reasons, such as lung cancer screening, but diagnosis requires biopsy studies. We describe an uncommon case of PLCH in an elderly female patient presenting with mild dyspnea and a significant history of smoking. Diagnosis was made with a biopsy of a new pulmonary nodule in her left lung found on lung cancer screening computed tomography (CT) scan. No gold standard therapy exists, and novel agents are being studied for future use. At present, she has been advised to quit smoking and is being followed with serial imaging studies to determine additional measures.
