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

Kikuchi's disease (KD) also known as Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis was first described in 1972 independently by Kikuchi and Fujimoto et al. It is a benign self-limited condition of unknown etiology which usually presents with cervical lymphadenopathy or fever of unknown origin. The diagnosis of KFD is based on histopathologic examination of the involved lymph node, showing the presence of well-defined necrosis without granulocytic cells. There is no special treatment for KFD. However non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids are required occasionally to control the associated systemic manifestations. The outcome of the disease is usually favorable with resolution of symptoms in most cases within one to four months. We report a case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease that occurred in a young Qatari male patient 10 days following receiving the first dose of BNT162b2 vaccine. Diagnosis was established by lymph node biopsy and recovery was complete after 10 days.
