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

Kimura's disease is a rare chronic inflammatory condition of unknown cause that most frequently affects Asian adults. It is characterized by painless lymphadenopathy in the head and neck region and eosinophilia, often associated with nephrotic syndrome. Α young Asian male presented to our Department with œdema at the lower limbs and scrotum, retroauricular masses, eosinophilia and proteinuria. Diagnosis was reached by a combination of the clinical picture, the patient's origin and a histological examination, which revealed well-developed lymph follicles with increased numbers of eosinophils and fibrosis, a finding typical of Kimura's disease. In case of a young Asian male who is otherwise healthy, but presents head/neck masses and/or unexplained eosinophilia associated with nephrotic syndrome, consider Kimura's disease in the differential diagnosis.
