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

This study presents a rare case of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) with nasal and nasopharyngeal involvement, illustrating the complexities in diagnosing this enigmatic histiocytic disorder. RDD, characterized by massive, painless cervical lymphadenopathy, poses diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical presentations. In this case, a 38-year-old woman presented with a year-long history of neck swellings, nasal congestion, headaches, and sinusitis-like symptoms. Radiological imaging and histopathological examination revealed RDD involvement in the nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses. RDD diagnosis was confirmed through immunohistochemistry. The patient's unique symptoms emphasize the importance of considering RDD in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal masses with recurrent or unusual complaints. This case underscores the need for increased awareness, multidisciplinary management, and further research to enhance understanding and treatment of RDD, especially in extranodal presentations.
