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

objectivesRosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD), often associated with autoimmune disease, is rare in the elderly. We report a 79-year-old Japanese man with RDD, who had been treated for non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) for longer than 6 years.

methodsDetecting RDD lesions was evaluated with imaging studies, including PET-CT, and the RDD diagnosis was based on the pathological findings of a biopsied lymph node. Findings and Clinical course: PET-CT revealed an FDG-avid 5.5 cm-sized mass (SUVmax; 7.12) at the right lung and enlarged lymph nodes at the bilateral supra-clavicular area (SUVmax; 10.12). A supraclavicular lymph node biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of RDD; however, it was characterized by lymph node necrosis, which is rarely noted in the RDD tissue. Three months after the RDD diagnosis, the patient developed cold agglutinin disease (CAD), causing severe anemia, for which packed red blood cell transfusions and sutimlimab

conclusionsRDD occurs even in the elderly. RDD in this case was associated with autoimmune NSIP and CAD. The presence of necrotic foci in the biopsied lymph node does not contradict the diagnosis of RDD.
