Fever of unknown origin: adult-onset Still's disease as the hidden culprit-a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundAdult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic autoinflammatory disorder characterized by prolonged fever, arthritis, and a maculopapular rash. Due to its nonspecific presentation, it often mimics infections, malignancies, and autoimmune diseases, making diagnosis challenging. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 19-year-old Caucasian, Nepalese female presenting with persistent fever, joint pain, rash, and systemic symptoms. Laboratory investigations revealed leukocytosis, anemia, and elevated liver enzymes, while imaging showed lymphadenopathy and mild hepatomegaly. Extensive evaluation ruled out infectious, autoimmune, and malignant causes. Significantly elevated serum ferritin and C-reactive protein supported the diagnosis of AOSD based on Yamaguchi criteria. The patient responded dramatically to corticosteroid therapy, with full resolution of symptoms and normalization of laboratory findings within 2 weeks.
conclusionsThis case highlights the importance of considering AOSD in patients with prolonged fever and systemic features after common causes are excluded. Timely diagnosis using clinical criteria and inflammatory markers can facilitate prompt treatment and favorable outcomes.
