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

Granulomatous diseases in childhood present a complex diagnostic landscape, particularly when histological and clinical findings overlap with those of systemic inflammatory or histiocytic disorders. A subset of these conditions may represent the clinical onset of inborn errors of immunity (IEI), such as Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease (MSMD), where atypical or sterile granulomas may obscure the underlying infectious or genetic etiology. Recognition of IEI behind granulomatous diseases can radically alter patient's prognosis and therapeutic management. This report describes the case of a 11-years-old with an initial diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease based on clinical and and histological findings. Following relapse after steroid tapering the diagnosis was revised to sarcoidosis, supported by non-caseating granulomas and compatible laboratory findings. Only after cultures from biopsy specimens revealed
