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

Key Clinical Messages: Behçet's disease (BD) or syndrome is a chronic, recurrent, multisystem, inflammatory vasculitis disorder with findings of oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis. Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement can be the initial presentation as presented in this case. Abstract: Behçet's disease (BD) or syndrome is a chronic, recurrent, multisystem, inflammatory vasculitis disorder of unknown etiology with classical findings of oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, and ocular involvements including chronic anterior, intermediate, posterior, and even panuveitis. Gastrointestinal involvement in BD usually presents with chronic diarrhea, hematochezia as the disease affects ileocecal area which might be similar to presentation of inflammatory bowel diseases. Here, we report a case of undiagnosed BD who presented with chronic diarrhea for 4 months, leading to the diagnosis of BD and responded well to corticosteroid therapy.
