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) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory, multisystem disease of unknown etiology. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum of mucocutaneous lesions and ocular, vascular, articular, neurologic, gastrointestinal and cardiac involvement. Although the number of effective drugs used in the disease's treatment has increased in recent years, BD is still associated with severe morbidity because of mainly mucocutaneous, articular and ocular symptoms and an increased mortality because of large vessel, neurological, gastrointestinal and cardiac involvement. Many factors are associated with a more serious course, such as male gender and a younger age of onset. While the severity of the disease is more pronounced in the first years of the disease, it decreases in most patients after the age of forties. The primary goal of treatment should be the prevention of irreversible organ damage. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment and close follow-up are mandatory to reduce the morbidity and mortality of the disease. Treatment varies depending on the organ involved and the severity of the involvement. For all these reasons, the treatment should be personalized and arranged with a multidisciplinary approach according to the organs involved. Treatment is mainly based on suppression of the inflammatory attacks of the disease using local and systemic immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive drugs. In this review, based on the mainly controlled studies and personal experience in clinical practice and basic research in this field, we propose a stepwise, symptom-based, algorithmic approach for the management of BD with a holistic perspective.
