Urologic Manifestations and Hydronephrosis as Initial Presentation of Erdheim-Chester Disease: A Rare Form of Non-Langerhans Histiocytosis.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 histiocytosis that is classified as a malignancy of myeloid progenitor cells, with only 1,000 confirmed cases in the literature so far. It often manifests as a multi-system disorder with an initial presentation predominantly in the long bones, central nervous system (CNS), and retroperitoneal space, sometimes causing urologic symptoms as a result. ECD often presents indolently and in a spectrum of different ways, making it challenging to identify and treat. We report a case of a 63-year-old female with ECD that first presented with abdominal pain and acute renal injury due to ECD-related retroperitoneal fibrosis. We also explore the literature at large around ECD, its diagnosis, pathophysiology, and advances in treatments.
