Rosai-Dorfman Disease, Presenting as a Mass in the Trachea: A Case Report.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 45-year-old woman was referred to our clinic for evaluation of a 17 mm tracheal mass detected incidentally during a routine health check-up. The mass was removed bronchoscopically using rigid bronchoscopy for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Multidisciplinary review confirmed the diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). As the patient remained asymptomatic, the residual extratracheal lesion was initially managed with observation. However, 20 months after resection, follow-up CT revealed progression of the extratracheal component. Consequently, systemic corticosteroid therapy was initiated and continued for 9 months. The lesion showed a marked reduction in size and has remained stable for 4 years following the completion of steroid treatment. This case highlights that rare entities such as RDD can present as tracheal masses and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Local resection followed by corticosteroid therapy can be an effective treatment approach.
