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

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent self-limited attacks of fever accompanied with peritonitis, pleuritis, or arthritis. FMF may coexist with various systemic inflammatory diseases including vasculitides, spondyloarthritis, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Among these coexistences, this review concentrates on vasculitic disorders, with the aim of increasing the awareness of FMF-vasculitis association. This association does not merely show a coincidentally increased frequency of vasculitic disorders in FMF; rather, it seems that FMF patients might be at increased risk of developing vasculitis. Indeed, as also suggested by some authors, vasculitis might be an essential feature of FMF. Among the vasculitic disorders reported to be associated with FMF, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, and classical polyarteritis nodosa come the first, possibly followed up by protracted febrile myalgia. There is also an ongoing debate whether Behçet's disease (BD) more frequently seen in FMF than expected by chance alone. In this review, the associations of various vasculitic disorders with FMF and the possible pathogenic mechanisms underlying these associations, as well as the frequencies and clinical significances of FMF-related MEFV mutations in various vasculitides including BD, are discussed in the context of the available data.
