An extremely rare case of Rosai-Dorfman disease in the thymus.
Review in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThere were very few reports of Rosai-Dorfman disease in the thymus, which known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy. It usually accompanied with other systemic symptoms such as fever, malaise, night sweats, or weight loss in the short term. Case presentation We herein report a rare case of RDD of thymic origin and a review of the literature concerning the clinical and pathological features of this disease, which is often misdiagnosed as thymoma. The patient was underwent thymectomy to extirpate the lesion completely by video-assisted thoracic surgery.
conclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, this is the fourth thymus occurring RDD case with proof via histology and IHC. Our findings suggest the difficulty of making a diagnosis before surgery and more cases will need to be reported in order to facilitate the preoperative diagnosis of such a rare tumor.
