Neurologic manifestations of Behçet disease: rheumatology experience.

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
objectiveNeurologic involvement in Behçet disease (BD) is a rare manifestation. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the clinical features and treatment choices of neuro-Behçet (NB) patients.
methodsThere were records of 800 BD patients between 1998 and 2021. Fifty-five of the BD patients had NB and the files of these patients were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were grouped into three subgroups: 22 (40%) had non-parenchymal, 25 (45%) had parenchymal, and 8 (15%) had both parenchymal and non-parenchymal (mixed) involvement.
resultsOf the 55 patients, 32 were male. Twenty-six of the NB patients were diagnosed with BD simultaneously. The most common complaint was headache (n = 24, 44%). The most affected site was periventricular white matter (n = 21, 38%). All patients had received corticosteroids. Azathioprine (AZA; n = 39, 71%) was the most common immunosuppressive agent after corticosteroids, followed by cyclophosphamide (n = 16, 29%).
conclusionNeurologic involvement is a rare complication of BD but is related to increased mortality and morbidity. Neurologic manifestations may be the initial symptom of BD, thus leading to diagnosis. Both neurology and rheumatology specialists should be aware of this rare condition.
