Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2023. 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
backgroundErdheim Chester disease (ECD) is a rare disease with multisystemic involvement in the group of non-langerhans cell histiocytosis. Although nearly 100 years have passed since its definition, the number of cases reported all over the world is below 1000. In addition to the rarity of the disease, low awareness seems to play a role in this. CASE PRESENTATION: 47-year-old white caucasian women patient who presented to our clinic with symptoms of weakness-fatigue as well as increasing pain in the knees and ptosis in the left eye. Result of the patient's bone biopsy, ECD was considered pathologically and BRAF V600E mutation was shown molecularly. After presenting the clinical, laboratory and other examination results of the case, the dramatic response seen with targeted therapy will be discussed.
conclusionsBRAF V600E mutation is frequently seen in ECD. Vemurafenib plays an active role in targeted therapy.
