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

We present two cases of Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) in 66-year-old female patients, highlighting their distinct clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges. The first patient presented with chest tightness and dyspnea, revealing pericardial effusion and hypermetabolic foci in multiple organs on imaging. Histopathological analysis indicated abundant foamy histiocytes, confirming ECD. Significant reduction in metabolic lesions following cladribine treatment. The second patient developed subcutaneous nodules post-hysterectomy, later diagnosed with mixed lobular panniculitis. Subsequent biopsies revealed similar histiocyte profiles, leading to ECD diagnosis. She responded well to an immunomodulatory regimen. Notably, whole-exome sequencing detected a
