Behçet's disease and tuberculosis: unmasking infection behind a suspected flare.
Article in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic and multisystem disorder characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, along with ocular, cutaneous, vascular, gastrointestinal, and neurologic manifestations. The etiology is thought to involve an autoimmune response triggered by infectious or environmental factors in genetically predisposed individuals. Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been proposed as a potential trigger for BD, although this association remains rarely reported. We show a compelling case of a patient with BD diagnostic criteria who subsequently developed mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis, which was initially suspected as disease activity. This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in BD patients with new or worsening symptoms despite appropriate therapy.
