Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease Presenting as Autoimmune Limbic Encephalitis: A Case Report with Review of Literature.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2025. 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) is a rare benign condition associated with fever and lymphadenopathy and was first described by Kikuchi and Fujimoto independently in 1972 as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis. The diagnosis is made by histopathology with immunohistochemistry. Limbic encephalitis is an extremely rare presentation of this uncommon disease, which has been described mainly in children. Available evidence is sparse in the form of case reports and case series in the form of 10 cases published till date. We report a case of an adult female with KFD with autoimmune limbic encephalitis, who had complete clinical and radiologic recovery with treatment, and a literature review of all the cases published till date.
