Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in a 20-year-old female: a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Kikuchi disease is an uncommon, self-limited disease that mimics malignant lymphoma in presentation but with an excellent prognosis. The study highlights the importance of diagnosis of Kikuchi disease and modalities to reach it. Case presentation: The authors present a case of a 20-year-old Asian female who had complaints of swelling at the angle of the mandible along with fever. There was bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Ultrasonography of the neck showed features of tubercular lymphadenitis whereas cell and tissue study revealed the diagnosis of Kikuchi disease. She was managed conservatively and her lesions subsided. Discussion: Kikuchi disease is a rare but self-limiting disease characterized by lymphadenopathy. It has similarities with other etiologies especially malignancy and tubercular lymphadenitis which leads to misdiagnosis. Hence, knowledge about incidence, and clinicopathological features helps to reach proper diagnosis prompting effective management. Conclusion: Kikuchi disease, being a benign disease needs to be kept in mind to avoid overtreatment in the line of malignancy or tubercular lymphadenitis.
