Perforation of the hard palate due to tuberculosis.

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) of the hard palate is rare and usually secondary to pulmonary TB. We present a case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with difficulty in swallowing solid foods, low-grade fever and loss of weight. Oral cavity examination showed perforation of the hard palate with an irregular, undermined margin and a necrotic base. Chest X-ray showed homogeneous opacity in the right upper zone. Fine-needle aspiration of the cervical lymph nodes showed granular caseous necrosis and granuloma composed of epitheliod cells and histiocytes. In view of the clinical presentation and evidence of pulmonary and lymph node TB, the palatal perforation was most likely due to TB. Patient was started on antituberculous therapy and is on regular follow-up.
