Diagnostic Challenges in Intracranial Rosai-Dorfman Disease: Differentiating It From Meningiomas Using Imaging.

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
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (non-LCH) with intracranial involvement being exceptionally uncommon. We report a 45-year-old woman presenting with neurological symptoms initially suggestive of a stroke, later found to have a dural-based lesion resembling a meningioma. MRI revealed a mixed T1 isointense to hyperintense and T2 hyperintense mass with restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and lower apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, findings atypical for meningiomas. Intracranial RDD commonly mimics meningiomas radiographically but can be distinguished by unique imaging features. Surgical resection remains the treatment of choice for isolated lesions, though recurrence is possible. This case highlights the importance of recognizing RDD in the differential diagnosis of dural-based lesions to ensure accurate diagnosis and tailored management.
