Incidental Diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester Disease in a 42-Year-Old Man With Persistent Elevated ESR and Peri-Ocular Xanthomas: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterized by multisystem involvement and frequent diagnostic delay due to nonspecific clinical manifestations. We report a 42-year-old asymptomatic man with persistently elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) detected during routine laboratory evaluation. Physical examination revealed bilateral peri-ocular xanthomas. Multimodal imaging demonstrated bilateral perirenal soft-tissue infiltration with a characteristic "hairy kidney" appearance on computed tomography, symmetric skeletal involvement on bone scintigraphy, and metabolically active lesions on
