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
Background/aim: Ocular involvement is a major cause of morbidity in Behçet's disease (BD), and its diagnosis may be challenging, particularly for patients with isolated ocular manifestations or incomplete fulfillment of diagnostic criteria. Increased common femoral vein (CFV) wall thickness measured by Doppler ultrasonography (US) has previously been shown to be a sensitive and specific marker for systemic BD. This study aimed to evaluate whether CFV wall thickness measurement may serve as a supportive tool in distinguishing Behçet's uveitis (BU) from other forms of inflammatory uveitis. Materials and methods: This retrospective study included 45 patients with BU fulfilling the International Study Group criteria for BD and 72 patients with non-BD uveitis of infectious and noninfectious etiologies. Bilateral CFV wall thickness was measured using color Doppler US by a radiologist blinded to the clinical data. Group comparisons were performed and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to assess whether BU was independently associated with increased CFV wall thickness after adjustment for potential confounders. Exploratory analyses additionally evaluated the effects of disease duration and systemic treatment status. Results: Mean CFV wall thickness was significantly higher in the BU group than in the non-BU group in both extremities (p < 0.001). BU remained an independent predictor of increased CFV wall thickness after adjustment for sex and venous Doppler findings. Additional exploratory analyses adjusting for disease duration and current systemic treatment status did not change this association. Conclusion: CFV wall thickness measured by Doppler US was significantly increased in patients with BU compared to other forms of inflammatory uveitis. These findings suggest that CFV wall thickness may serve as a supportive or adjunctive imaging marker in selected cases to assist in the differential diagnosis of ocular BD.
