Kikuchi Disease Masquerading as Lymphoma: Unravelling the Diagnostic Conundrum.
Article in Cureus, 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
Kikuchi Disease is a rare, self-limiting autoinflammatory pathology, traditionally presenting with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Generalised lymphadenopathy remains an underreported presentation of this disease in the literature. We present the case of a 28-year-old woman who presented with fever of unknown origin along with unilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. PET-CT revealed generalised lymph node involvement with high tracer uptake values, creating the classic picture of lymphoma. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry analysis finally helped establish the diagnosis of Kikuchi disease. The non-specific presentation of this disease, coupled with its self-resolving nature, poses a significant diagnostic dilemma, underscoring the importance of a thorough workup and a high degree of clinical suspicion to guide accurate diagnosis.
