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

Yao syndrome, an autoinflammatory disease associated with specific NOD2 gene variants, presents with a wide range of symptoms, including fever, dermatitic rashes, polyarthritis, abdominal pain/bloating, and sicca symptoms. The initial clinical manifestation remains widely variable. The first-line treatment options remain unknown due to limited knowledge of the pathophysiology and the absence of robust literature. We report a case of a 36-year-old woman diagnosed with Yao syndrome, presenting with postprandial bloating, followed by polyarthralgia and low-grade fever. After experiencing reactions to treatments, including anaphylaxis secondary to anakinra and canakinumab, the patient showed improvement with upadacitinib and leflunomide, resulting in better control of her symptoms.
