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

purposeLangerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease that can affect all tissues and organs. Our study evaluated the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of adult-onset LCH patients in a tertiary center. MATERIALS AND

methodsAdult patients diagnosed with LCH were retrospectively evaluated. Their initial symptoms, stratification according to disease involvement, treatment details, treatment responses, and overall and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.

resultsThirty-three patients were included. There were 21 single system LCH, 10 multisystem LCH, and 2 pulmonary LCH patients. Patients with single system unifocal involvement were successfully treated with local therapies such as surgery and radiotherapy. Most of the multisystem LCH patients and patients with single system multifocal involvement were treated with systemic chemotherapy. Cladribine was the first choice in 10 out of 11 patients who received chemotherapy. Among all patients, the overall response rate (ORR) was 97%. Among those who had cladribine in the first-line the ORR was 81%. All these patients achieved a complete remission and were alive at the last visit. The median follow-up was 38 (range, 2-183) months. The median PFS has not yet been reached. Ten-year PFS was 90.9%.

conclusionBesides successful local treatments with surgery and radiotherapy, our study provides information for front-line cladribine treatment.
