Tubercular osteomyelitis of distal ulna presenting as epiphyseal injury.
Article in Maedica, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a public health problem in both developing and industrialized countries. T.B can involve any bone theoretically but involvement of distal metaphysis and epiphysis is a rare presentation. We present a case of 11yr old female child who presented to us with pain and swelling in distal forearm and radiograph revealing an osteolytic lesion in distal ulnar metaphysic and volar displacement of epiphysis. Histopathology and BACTEC culture led us to a diagnosis. Awareness of atypical presentations of TB is most important in endemic areas to ensure proper management of such patients.
