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), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare histiocytic disorder characterized by proliferation of non-Langerhans cell phagocytic histiocytes. Most patients present with painless massive cervical lymphadenopathy with associated night sweats, malaise, and fever. Osseous manifestations of RDD are uncommon and primary RDD of the bone without lymphadenopathy is thought to be even rarer. It is important to maintain this entity on a differential as it can mimic an aggressive entity. This is exemplified in our case report of a 24-year-old female patient with an incidental finding of a nonspecific mass in the right hemipelvis which was determined to be isolated osseous Rosai-Dorfman disease after a multidisciplinary investigation.
