Current State of Targeted Therapy in Adult Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis and Erdheim-Chester Disease.
Review in Targeted oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is a key driver in many histiocytic disorders, including Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD). This has led to successful and promising treatment with targeted therapies, including BRAF inhibitors and MEK inhibitors. Additional novel inhibitors have also demonstrated encouraging results. Nevertheless, there are several problems concerning targeted therapy that need to be addressed. These include, among others, incomplete responsiveness and the emergence of resistance to BRAF inhibition as observed in other BRAF-mutant malignancies. Drug resistance and relapse after treatment interruption remain problems with current targeted therapies. Targeted therapy does not seem to eradicate the mutated clone, leading to inevitable relapes, which is a huge challenge for the future. More fundamental research and clinical trials are needed to address these issues and to develop improved targeted therapies that can overcome resistance and achieve long-lasting remissions.
