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

Resurgence of TB has emphasized the need for newer methods of diagnosis. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), being paucibacillary, is a diagnostic dilemma. The aim of the present study was to correlate IFN-γ/IL-2 with neopterin in diagnosis of EPTB. Extrapulmonary specimens from 69 clinically diagnosed cases were stained by Ziehl-Neelsen and cultured on Lowenstein-Jensen medium for
