The xanthogranuloma family of histiocytic neoplasms in the molecular era: Erdheim-Chester disease and beyond.

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
Histiocytic neoplasms with xanthogranulomatous morphology encompass a continuum of disorders-from isolated cutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) or adult xanthogranuloma (AXG) to the multisystem Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD)-that share overlapping histopathologic and molecular features. In this article, we (1) define the spectrum of xanthogranuloma lesions, highlighting morphologic and immunohistochemical commonalities; (2) examine the clinical and radiographic criteria that distinguish localized juvenile xanthogranuloma/adult xanthogranuloma from classical Erdheim-Chester disease and related entities; (3) review the latest insights into MAPK pathway alterations that blur traditional diagnostic boundaries; and (4) outline contemporary management strategies, including approaches to staging "occult" disease, patient selection for BRAF and MEK inhibitors, and the role of other targeted and nontargeted agents. Readers will gain practical frameworks for recognizing early or atypical presentations, integrating molecular testing into routine practice, and optimizing personalized therapy across the xanthogranuloma family.
