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

We report a case of Behçet's disease in a 9-year-old boy from Greece, presenting with a history of recurrent ulceration of the oral cavity. Following inspection of the oral cavity, which revealed lesions on both the upper and lower labial mucosa, as well as a large ulcer on the apex of the tongue, the diagnosis of Behçet's disease was immediately suspected. The diagnosis was confirmed using the International Criteria for Behçet's Disease. Nevertheless, as multiple diseases can cause recurrent oral aphthosis, an extensive differential diagnosis was made, and pertinent tests were undertaken to exclude other causes of oral ulceration. The approach to a patient with Behçet's disease, as well as its various clinical presentations and complications, is discussed.
