Latest measurements suggest that the X(3872) mass lies less than 200 keV away from the D0-Dbar0* threshold, reenforcing its interpretation as a loosely-bound mesonic molecule. This observation implies that in processes like D0-Dbar0-pi0 production, threshold effects could disguise the actual pole position of the X(3872). We propose a new effective field theory with D0, Dbar0 and pi0 degrees of freedom for the X(3872), considering Galilean invariance to be an exact symmetry. The D0* enters as a D0-pi0 p-wave resonance, allowing for a comprehensive study of the influence of pion interactions on the X(3872) width. We calculate relations between the mass of the X(3872), its width, and its line shape in D0-Dbar0-pi0 production up to next-to-leading order. Our results provide a tool for the extraction of the X(3872) pole position from the experimental data near threshold.

Heavy hadronic molecules with pion exchange and quark core couplings: a guide for practitioners
X(3872) is best described as a shallow D D* molecule in which one-pion exchange and a small charmonium core provide comparable attraction.

Branching Fractions of the $X(3872)$
If the X(3872) is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, its J/psi pi+ pi- branching fraction lies between roughly 4% and 33%, and is likely several times larger than the measured resonance-feature fraction.
