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

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a sinus histiocytosis with an undefined etiology and usually presents with painless massive lymphadenopathy. RDD is a benign histiocytic proliferative disease with extremely low incidence and commonly in young patients. Isolated intrathoracic RDD is comparatively rare in clinical practice with non-specific clinical manifestations, and can only be diagnosed after histological confirmation. Here, we reported a 28-year-old female who complained of a one-year cough with unknown causes, and chest contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a soft-tissue density and slightly strengthened mass with 6.8 cm * 2.4 cm detected in the anterior-upper mediastinum. We suggested that en bloc resection of mediastinal RDD with potential adjacent tissue invasion was dependable and could lead to a favored prognosis. This case emphasizes the importance of considering RDD in the differential diagnosis of anterior mediastinal masses.
