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

Adult-onset Still's disease is a rare systemic autoinflammatory condition of unknown aetiology. It is a diagnosis of exclusion based primarily on clinical features and non-specific laboratory findings using either the Yamaguchi or Fautrel criteria. Here, we present a case of atypical adult-onset Still's disease in a young man with twice-daily fevers, night sweats and evanescent rash on his face but not enough features to meet the Yamaguchi or Fautrel criteria after extensive (but unrevealing) infectious, autoimmune and malignancy workups. He responded well to corticosteroid therapy with periodic relapses while transitioning to anti-IL1 therapy for 8 months. At a 2-year follow-up, he now remains symptom-free after stopping anti-IL1 therapy for over a year.
