Beware of the Coated Aorta in Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography: A Specific Clue to the Diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester Disease in a Case of Brain and Orbital Lesions with Unknown Primary.

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 systemic histiocytosis that can involve several organs, with severity ranging from occult to life-threatening. The disease was first described by William Chester in 1930 after working with the Austrian pathologist Jakob Erdheim. Even today, a correct diagnosis of ECD often takes years, given the rarity and variable manifestations of ECD. We present a case of a 63-year-old female presenting with multiple brain lesions, sent for fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography to find primary, and it showed hypermetabolic right occipital brain lesion, right orbital lesion, and soft tissue around the arch of the aorta (coated aorta), and final histopathology of the brain lesion confirmed histiocytosis ECD.
