Solving a diagnostic dilemma in a patient with periodic fever-When the pieces of the puzzle finally fit.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The lack of pediatric subspecialists locally prior to 5 years ago, meant that some of our patients with rare, relapsing conditions were left behind. Familial Mediterranean fever can be diagnosed clinically and supported via genetic panel studies. Although neurological symptoms can be non-specific, this system symptomatology may lead patients and carers to seek medical attention. When neurological symptoms progress, seemingly refractory to first-line treatment, or suggestive of colchicine resistance, CNS demyelination should be considered by the neurologist. Abstract: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited disorder with episodic fevers accompanied by pain in the abdomen, joints, or chest. It is a clinical entity that can be confirmed with a specific genetic mutation. Neurological symptoms have not been a focal point in clinical case descriptions. We aim to present the long road to diagnosing our patient, where the diagnostic clues centered around her neurological symptoms.
