A case of tubulointerstitial nephritis with infiltration of neutrophils and interleukin-17-positive cells associated with Behçet's disease.

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 non-infectious inflammatory condition characterized by neutrophilic infiltration. In addition to primary symptoms, including oral and genital ulcers, ocular involvement, and skin lesions, BD can also affect various organs. However, renal involvement, particularly in tubulointerstitial nephritis, has rarely been described. Herein, a rare case of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis in a patient clinically diagnosed with BD is reported. The renal lesion presented with other symptoms of BD and fever, and was considered to be BD-related due to the presence of neutrophilic infiltration and its responsiveness to BD-directed therapy. Alterations in T-helper (Th) 1, Th2, and Th17 cytokine profiles are associated with BD activity. Interleukin (IL)-17 plays a central role in neutrophil activation, and recent studies have demonstrated a strong correlation between IL-17A levels and BD activity. In the present case, elevated serum IL-17A levels and infiltration of IL-17A-positive cells into the renal tissue reflected an active phase of BD and a BD-associated renal lesion.
