Cutaneous Manifestations of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in Pediatric Age: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare histiocytic neoplastic disorder that mainly affects the skin and bones, with dermatological manifestations that can be easily confused with other dermatological conditions, such as seborrheic eczema, psoriasis, lesions of herpes simplex virus infection, fungal infection, lichen planus, and cutaneous lymphomas. This case report describes an eight-month-old infant who, at a child health appointment, presented with progressive erythematous papulovesicular lesions, initially treated with hygiene measures (skin hydration and hygiene) and mupirocin ointment, but which persisted and worsened, leading to a skin biopsy. The diagnosis of self-limiting congenital histiocytosis was confirmed, and the child was referred to the Portuguese Oncology Institute. The case highlights the importance of early recognition of LCH, the multidisciplinary approach, and the crucial role of the family doctor in the diagnosis and appropriate management of this rare condition.
