Kikuchi Fujimoto Lymphadenitis: A Rare Association With COVID-19 Vaccination.
Article in Cureus, 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-Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is an uncommon cause of protracted cervical lymphadenopathy in both children and adults. Although the majority of cases have been documented in Asia, this disease has been characterized globally since it was first identified in Japan in 1972. KFD's etiology is not entirely understood, although various theories have been postulated. Usually benign, Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease resolves within six months. KFD must be distinguished from other causes of chronic lymphadenopathy, such as lymphoma, inflammatory illnesses, autoimmune conditions, viral lymphadenopathy, and also from tuberculosis, especially in India, where it is still endemic. Here, we present the case report of a healthcare worker with a known case of hypothyroidism and autoimmune skin disorder who presented with prolonged fever, joint pain, and generalized lymphadenopathy post-COVID vaccination and was diagnosed as having KFD on biopsy, which can be associated with a very unusual presentation of this disease.
