1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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) is a rare and self-limiting disorder characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. In this report, we present a case of a 24-year-old man with known history of KFD who presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding and acute blood loss anemia. Further evaluation with colonoscopy showed widespread ulcerations in the colon and terminal ileum with suspicion for Behcet's disease. Biopsy from the colonic mucosa and ileocecal valve demonstrated focal ulcer with cryptitis and lymphoid aggregates that can be seen in Behcet's syndrome; however, it lacks specificity and Behcet's disease is a clinical diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of including gastrointestinal bleeding as a potential manifestation due to Behcet's disease in patients diagnosed with KFD.
