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

Background: Rosai Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with extensive lymph node involvement, is a rare histiocytosis with unknown etiology. Liver RDD is relatively rare and is often reported in individual cases. Exploring the imaging and pathological features of extrahepatic Rosai Dorfman disease (RDD) and conducting a comprehensive analysis of reported cases in domestic and foreign literature to enhance understanding of this rare disease. Methods: We collected data from a patient diagnosed with liver RDD in our hospital. In addition, we searched for liver RDD cases through PubMed and conducted a literature review. Results: Of the patient data used in this study, 1 patient's data was obtained from our hospital records and 16 were retrieved from literature. There were 6 males and 11 females aged between 2-72 years, with an average age of 33.55 ± 19.38 years. Four patients presented with isolated liver nodules without the involvement of lymph nodes or extranodal organs, two patients presented with a case that involved extranodal organs but not lymph nodes, two patients presented with a case involving lymph nodes but not extranodal organs, eight patients presented with a case involving both lymph nodes and extranodal organs and lastly one patient presented with a case that did not involve either lymph nodes or extranodal organs. Four of the patients underwent enhanced scanning. The results revealed that 2 of them showed low enhancement, and the other 2 showed no significant enhancement. Only 1 case underwent PET-CT, and the results indicated a high uptake. Immunohistochemistry was performed on all 17 cases of liver RDD, and the results were positive for CD1a (-), CD68 (+), and S-100 (+). Conclusions: Liver RDD can manifest at any age. It presents with nonspecific imaging findings and a challenging preoperative diagnosis. Patients with extranodal hepatic RDD present with typical RDD characteristic immunohistochemistry features such as, high uptake on PET-CT, and no to mild enhancement on contrast-enhanced scans. For an early diagnosis, it is beneficial to fully comprehend these traits.
