The Great Still-Usion: Unmasking Adult-Onset Still's Disease Masquerading As Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that presents with high-grade fever, arthritis, evanescent rash, and multiorgan involvement. It is a rare disorder and is a diagnosis of exclusion. AOSD is often misdiagnosed initially as viral exanthems or upper respiratory tract infections leading to a delay in diagnosis. Management includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glucocorticoids, and conventional or biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). We report a case of a 53-year-old female with prolonged fever, sore throat, arthralgia, and rash. She was initially presumed to have infectious pharyngitis but did not respond to antimicrobial therapy. After extensive evaluation that excluded infectious, malignant, and other rheumatological etiologies, she was noted to satisfy multiple Yamaguchi criteria and was subsequently diagnosed with AOSD. Glucocorticoids and biologic DMARDs were initiated, leading to improved clinical manifestations and a decline in inflammatory markers.
