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

We report a case of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) in a 30-year-old Ugandan man presenting with migratory polyarthralgia, intermittent fever, lymphadenopathy, and atypical persistent pruritic hyperpigmented plaques. Laboratory evaluation showed neutrophilic leukocytosis, markedly elevated C-reactive protein, and hyperferritinemia. Infectious and autoimmune causes were excluded. A diagnosis of moderate systemic AOSD was established based on the Yamaguchi criteria. Treatment with corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs led to rapid clinical improvement and progressive regression of the cutaneous lesions on follow-up. This case highlights the need for considering atypical persistent dermatologic manifestations of AOSD, especially in low-resource settings.
