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 idiopathic histiocytoproliferative disease that usually affects the lymph nodes of the head and neck, but can also involve extranodal sites such as the skin, sinuses, and soft tissues. Breast RDD is exceedingly rare. It may be clinically and radiographically similar to neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. We report a case of breast RDD in a 68-year-old female patient and describe the clinical imaging and pathological features of the patient. The management of extranodal RDD is individualized, and there are no standardized guidelines for treatment. We highlight the importance of considering the diagnosis of extranodal breast RDD, and suggest that surgical resection is an effective way to treat this disease, particularly for single-focal breast lesions with RDD.
