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)-like syndrome is an extremely rare situation occurred after Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and virus infection. We reported a 45-year-old woman who visited our hospital complaining of swollen left ankle, painful genital ulcer, redness in the left eye and skin rash on lower limbs. The patient had a history of pleural tuberculosis and had received anti-tuberculous therapy for one year. Her left cervical lymph node sample demonstrated tubercle bacilli DNA fragmentation. The diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis and Behçet's disease (BD)-like syndrome were made. This patient's symptoms remitted following treatment with anti-tuberculous therapy. This case indicates that some microbial infection can trigger the onset of BD-like syndrome in genetically susceptible subjects. However, treatment strategy of BD-like syndrome secondary to infection is totally different from primary BD. The aim of this case report is to present our experience of the different clinical signs and treatment of BD-like syndrome to expedite its early diagnosis in future. Combination of clinical, radiological, immunophenotypic, pathological, and genetic data contribute to improving the rate of diagnosis.
