Imaging in tuberculosis.
Review in Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite many advances in both diagnosis and treatment, tuberculosis still remains one of commonest causes of morbidity and mortality from any infectious cause in the world. Although the overall incidence and mortality rate for tuberculosis has decreased over the years, timely and accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis is essential for the health of the patient as well as the public. For the diagnosis of tuberculosis, a high degree of clinical suspicion is required, and this becomes much more important in high-risk populations. Tuberculosis may masquerade as any disease; therefore, tissue and microbiological assessment is sometimes important for establishing the diagnosis. However, in daily practice, the clinician and radiologist should be familiar with the imaging features of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, as well as manifestations of tuberculosis in immunocompromised patients. Imaging provides a very important role in the diagnosis and management of tuberculosis. Although chest X rays remain the basic imaging modality for pulmonary tuberculosis, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine techniques, including positron emission tomography/computed tomography, are extremely helpful in the assessment of both pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
