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

Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, multisystem, inflammatory disorder that is classified among the systemic vasculitidies. Its cause has yet to be determined, but genetic and environmental factors and immune dysregulation are thought to play a role in its pathogenesis. The diagnosis of the disease and recognition and separation from disorders that may mimic BD may be difficult, especially in areas where the disease is uncommon. Certainty as to the best treatments for the various manifestations of BD is often unclear due to limited randomized controlled trials. However, existing consensus statements and expert opinions should help to guide therapy. This review examines important recent contributions to help the clinician more readily recognize patients with the disease and institute appropriate care.
