Two rare cases of head and neck tuberculosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. 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 is an infectious disease, which is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity and is still a serious health concern. The fact that extra pulmonary tuberculosis does not have specific examination and radiographic findings and that clinical findings vary depending on the organ in which it is detected cause diagnostic difficulties. The head and neck region is an uncommon site for tuberculosis and tuberculosis can localise in many different places of the head and neck region. In this article, the authors present a case of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis, which clinically mimics nasopharyngeal carcinoma and rare cutaneous tuberculosis of the pinna. A wide knowledge of head and neck tuberculosis, including the disease in the differential diagnosis and carrying out microbiological examinations are necessary for accurate diagnosis.
