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

Erdheim-Chester disease is an uncommon non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis affecting multiple systems. There is limited knowledge on the imaging capabilities of this disease. We present an extremely rare case of Erdheim-Chester illness in a 67-year-old man with multisystem involvement, including the cardiovascular system, skeleton, retroperitoneum (renal and adrenal infiltration) and the neurologic system. The involvement of the various organs was thoroughly assessed using multimodal imaging modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography and bone scintigraphy. Erdheim-Chester illness was revealed by a bone biopsy. Especially when there is cardiac and cerebral involvement, Erdheim-Chester illness is a rare condition with a poor prognosis. Knowing the imaging characteristics of Erdheim-Chester disease may be helpful in understanding the radiological results of many organs affected by the disease as described and discussed in the current case report.
