A rare coexistence of Behcet's disease and Graves' thyrotoxicosis in a young man: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Behcet's disease is a recurrent systemic vasculitic disorder. It manifests most commonly in the form of skin lesions, oral and genital ulcers and uveitis. Graves' thyrotoxicosis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by excessive production of thyroid hormones. We present a case of a 41-year-old male of Turkish descent who had symptoms of arthralgia, rash, palpitations and weight loss. Bloods tests showed raised inflammatory markers and biochemical evidence of severe autoimmune thyrotoxicosis. The patient was HLA-B51-negative, and pathergy test was inconclusive. A diagnosis of Behcet's disease was made on constellation of clinical symptoms. The patient was treated with carbimazole and prednisolone followed by azathioprine. The coexistence of Behcet's disease and Graves' disease in the same patient is very rare. Further studies are required to determine if there is a pathological association between these two conditions.
