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

introductionTuberculous or tubercular liver abscess (TLA) is a rare manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mass or cystic lesions of the liver especially in a high TB prevalence country like Iran. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an immunocompetent 48 year-old woman with TLA and peritoneal infection. Although hepatic TLA is very rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mass or cystic lesions of the liver especially in a high TB prevalence country.
