Challenging diagnosis: unusual presentation of Unicentric Castleman disease-a case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Castleman's Disease is an idiopathic rare lymphoproliferative disorder that is clinically Classified to multicentric to unicentric types. Only few cases were reported in children, with majority of them are unicentric and usually located in the mediastinum. We report a unique case of a 13-year-old boy who presented with a palpable enlarged mass in the left inguinal region without any constitutional symptoms. Surgical removal of this mass was essential to exclude worrying causes. Pathologic examination revealed proliferative changes consistent with Castleman's disease plasma cell type which is one of the rarest forms of the disease in children. To our knowledge, this case is the first reported case of Unicentric Castleman Disease (UCD) in the inguinal area. During a 12-month-period of follow-up, no additional lymph node enlargements or other symptoms were reported. In conclusion, any isolated lymph node enlargement wherever it is, especially in a child, should impose UCD as a possible differential diagnosis.
