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 (ECD) is a rare histiocytic disease that affects multiple systems in the body. While it typically targets long bones, cardiovascular structures, the retroperitoneum, and the central nervous system, reports of tendon and skeletal muscle involvement are scarce. This review presents 2 cases: a case of ECD involving the left Achilles tendon and left abductor hallucis, as well as an unusual manifestation of ECD in the thigh musculature. In Case 1, studies involved a 39-year-old man who initially presented with bone and pituitary involvement. An order for
