Optimizing glucocorticoid therapy for Behçet's uveitis: efficacy, adverse effects, and advances in combination approaches.
Review in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Behçet's uveitis (BU) is a debilitating manifestation of Behçet's disease, often requiring prompt and aggressive treatment to prevent vision loss. Glucocorticoids (GCS) serve as a first-line therapy for BU; however, their long-term, high-dose use can result in significant adverse effects. This review summarizes the efficacy, adverse effects, and advances in combination therapy involving GCS for the management of BU. We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of various GCS administration routes, including periocular and intravitreal injections, intravitreal sustained-release devices, and systemic therapy, highlighting the role of fluocinolone acetonide and dexamethasone as primary sustained-release formulations. Moreover, we underscore the importance of combining GCS with immunosuppressive drugs and biological agents to minimize adverse reactions and optimize therapeutic outcomes. The review concludes that, while GCS remain a crucial component of BU treatment, careful consideration of their administration and combination with other therapies is essential to achieve long-term remission and improved visual outcomes for patients with BU.
