Adult-onset Still's disease presenting with aseptic meningitis: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic autoinflammatory disorder characterized by high spiking fever, evanescent rash, arthritis, sore throat, and lymphadenopathy. The pathogenesis of AOSD remains unclear. Neurological involvement in AOSD is uncommon. This case report describes an atypical presentation of AOSD complicated by aseptic meningitis, where the true rarity lies in the unusually severe neurological involvement and associated complications, including empty sella. A 56-year-old female was admitted with a one-year history of recurrent high-grade fever, fatigue, accompanied by seizures and episode of altered consciousness lasting for over 17 hours. During the course of hospitalization, she exhibited polyarticular swelling and pain, seizures and impaired consciousness. Laboratory analysis revealed leukocytosis and markedly elevated serum ferritin levels. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement. Infectious, demyelinating, and other etiologies were excluded based on CSF analysis and other evaluations. A diagnosis of aseptic meningitis secondary to AOSD was made. The patient was treated with cyclosporine, tocilizumab, intrathecal dexamethasone, and methotrexate, resulting in marked clinical improvement. This case highlights the importance of recognizing uncommon neurological manifestations of AOSD and underscores that severe complications such as empty sella may occur and require prompt recognition and treatment.
