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

Objective: Behçet's disease (BD) may initially manifest solely with mucocutaneous involvement. This study aimed to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with subsequent intestinal involvement in patients presenting exclusively with mucocutaneous manifestations during early disease stages. Methods: Data were obtained from the International AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance Network registry dedicated to BD; a Bayesian statistical approach was employed to address the limited sample size resulting from subgroup stratifications. Results: In total, 328 BD patients with exclusively mucocutaneous onset were enrolled; of these, 46 (14%) developed intestinal involvement over time. The risk of ocular involvement was higher among patients with intestinal manifestations (OR: 3.02, 95% CrI: 1.24-6.08; posterior probability: 99.3%). Minor aphthous ulcers without major aphthosis were protective towards intestinal involvement (OR: 0.47, 95% CrI: 0.22-0.98; posterior probability: 97.98%). Conversely, major aphthous ulcers increased the risk (OR: 3.25, 95% CrI: 1.50-7.02; posterior probability: 99.7%), along with the combination of oral major aphthosis with: i) genital aphthosis (OR = 2.77, 95%CrI: 1.14-6.58; posterior probability: 98.45%); ii) pseudofolliculitis (OR = 3.18, 95%CrI: 1.15-8.33; posterior probability: 98.72%); iii) genital aphthosis plus pseudofolliculitis (OR = 5.22, 95%CrI: 1.71-16.35; posterior probability of 99.77%). Pseudofolliculitis plus cutaneous manifestations other than erythema nodosum were protective against intestinal involvement (OR = 0.01, 95%CrI: 0.0-0.98; posterior probability: 97.55%). Conclusion: Major aphthosis was the strongest factor associated with intestinal involvement in BD patients initially presenting with mucocutaneous symptoms only. In such patients, intestinal involvement correlated with increased risk of ocular inflammation.
