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-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare lymphohistiocytic disorder with an unknown etiopathogenesis. Due to its non-specific lymphadenopathy presentation, treatment is complicated by the frequency by which it is misdiagnosed-for example up to one-third of cases are misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma, leading to expensive clinical testing and overtreatment of this typically self-limiting illness. KFD has a strong association with SLE, although its transience and rarity make it difficult to investigate. We present a case of KFD to illustrate the variance in presentation and typical outcome of KFD. We want to increase awareness and shed some light on some typical and atypical clinical presentations of KFD to reduce the incidence of misdiagnosis.
