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

We present a case of a 47-year-old female patient with a history of diagnosed Kikuchi disease and autoimmune hepatitis 13 years ago who presented with recurrent fevers and a desquamative rash on the lower extremities. Computed tomography neck showed enlarged lymph nodes, and with her daily fevers and skin rashes the presentation was concerning for recurrence of her Kikuchi disease. The patient was also found to have an elevated anti-smooth muscle antibody titer, and subsequent liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis. She was started on methylprednisolone with improvement. Our case emphasizes the association of Kikuchi disease with autoimmune conditions other than systemic lupus erythematosus. Given the recurrence of the disease after a decade of quiescence, long-term follow-up of patients with Kikuchi disease should be implemented.
