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) with central nervous system (CNS) involvement poses substantial diagnostic challenges due to its propensity to mimic meningiomas or inflammatory pathologies. We present a series of three RDD cases with CNS involvement to evaluate their clinical, radiological, and histopathological features. The series includes a 30-year-old female with pachymeningitis and spinal involvement; a 66-year-old male with a skull base lesion; and a 45-year-old male presenting with trigeminal neuralgia secondary to a cavernous sinus lesion. In all instances, definitive diagnosis was achieved following surgical intervention and histopathological analysis, revealing hallmark emperipolesis and a characteristic immunohistochemical profile (S100+, CD68+, and CD1a-). Management comprised neurosurgical resection for decompression and diagnosis, supplemented by adjuvant corticosteroids and chemotherapy where indicated. This series underscores that RDD is a critical differential diagnosis for atypical extra-axial CNS lesions. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for optimizing patient outcomes.
