Spontaneous regression of a presumed orbitocranial eosinophilic granuloma in an adult patient: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEosinophilic granuloma (EG) is a localized subtype of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) that involves infiltration of tissues by a clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells. EG is a rare tumor of the orbit and most commonly presents in childhood. This tumor is known to regress after minimal intervention (including biopsy), and management includes curettage and intralesional corticosteroids. The natural history of EG is not well understood, and true spontaneous regression of the lesion without intervention has rarely been described. OBSERVATIONS: Herein, the authors present a unique case of an adult patient with presumed orbitocranial EG with true spontaneous regression over a 4-month period. Biopsy of the residual mass revealed reactive changes and no evidence of neoplasia, consistent with resolved EG. LESSONS: Adult patients with EG may experience regression of the lesion without intervention. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25426.
