Diagnostic challenges in pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis: A case report of nodular presentation in an adult.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Adult pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) represents a poorly understood subset of LCH, primarily involving young to middle-aged smokers and accounting for approximately 3-5 % of adult diffuse lung diseases. This case report presents uncommon presentation of adult PLCH with nodular pulmonary lesions on a 40-year-old female with a history of asthma, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and smoking. CT chest confirmed multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules, with the largest measuring up to 12 mm. Biopsy of the lung nodules demonstrated Langerhans cell infiltration, with immunohistochemical staining positive for CD1a and S100, confirming the diagnosis of PLCH. The report underscores the importance of considering PLCH in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules, particularly in patients with a significant smoking history, and contributes to the growing body of knowledge regarding the diverse presentations of LCH in adults.
