Ocular involvement in pediatric Behçet's disease: is it different than in adults? (a short case series and mini review).
Review in BMC ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPediatric Behçet's disease (PBD) is rarer than BD and can be a challenging diagnosis as clinical picture may be incomplete. As in adult patients, sight-threatening ocular manifestations may lead to diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to report a series of cases of PBD with ocular manifestations and provide a review of the literature.
methodsRetrospective case series of PBD patients with ocular manifestations. Demographic, ophthalmological and systemic data at presentation and during follow-up were collected and analyzed.
resultsFour patients, aged 13.0 ± 2.9 years (9-16) were included. Posterior uveitis with retinal vasculitis, papillitis and macular edema was present in all patients, with associated anterior uveitis in 2 cases. Other features included occlusive vasculitis (2/4) and necrotizing retinitis (2/4). All patients were improved by systemic treatments except one patient with severe bilateral optic neuropathy. Ocular manifestations were the presenting symptoms in 3/4 cases.
conclusionOcular manifestations and systemic associations of PBD are comparable to those encountered in adult patients. The lack of complains in pediatric patients may lead to a longer diagnosis delay, especially in unilateral uveitis. Aggressive and long-term treatment is mandatory to prevent vision loss and recurrences.
