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

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare, multisystemic, histiocytic disorder that usually presents with painless cervical lymphadenopathy. We describe a case of constrictive effusive pericarditis with congestive cardiac failure in a six-year-old child as an initial presentation of RDD. The child underwent pericardiectomy and was treated with steroids, following which the symptoms resolved entirely. While tuberculosis accounts for the majority of cases presenting with constrictive pericarditis in developing countries, the presentation of RDD can be easily missed if not kept in mind as a possibility. This case report documents the unique presentation of a rare disease.
