Multiple cutaneous and mucocutaneous lesions as manifestations of pseudo-Behçet's disease.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
Pseudo-Behçet's disease (PBD) is a close clinical mimicker of Behçet's disease (BD) which can present with orogenital ulceration and uveitis. However, these manifestations in PBD are associated with occult tuberculosis. Sometimes, diagnosis of PBD is established retrospectively when the lesions respond to anti-tubercular therapy (ATT). We here describe a case who presented with a penile ulcer, initially suspected to be a sexually transmitted infection, but was later diagnosed as PBD and resulted in complete healing with ATT. Knowledge about this condition is essential to prevent misdiagnosis as BD and unnecessary treatment with systemic corticosteroids, which can lead to worsening of tuberculosis.
