Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease complicated by aseptic meningitis and hemophagocytosis successfully treated with intrathecal dexamethasone.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is thought to be a self-limited disease featuring fever and cervical lymphadenopathy; most cases having a favorable outcome. Severe disease and death are occasionally reported. Here we report a case of KFD complicated by hemophagocytosis and aseptic meningitis. The symptoms and laboratory parameters improved after systemic glucocorticoids, intravenous immunoglobulin and one dose of intrathecal dexamethasone. Clinicians should aware of this disease and make early diagnosis by lymph node biopsy to avoid over-treatment.
