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

Kikuchi disease is a rare condition, typically characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. Although its association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is well established, the majority of SLE cases do not present with Kikuchi disease. We report a case of a young patient who presented with fever and cervical lymphadenopathies for two-weeks. This presents a broad differential, initially suggesting the possibility of infections or malignancies. However, after further clinical evaluation, including cervical node biopsy, direct histological examination revealed Kikuchi disease. Combining all clinical information and laboratory data, we concluded that the patient's condition was consistent with Kikuchi disease associated with SLE and probable autoimmune hepatitis. This case illustrates a young female patient with clinical presentations of SLE associated with Kikuchi disease as the first manifestation.
