Shifting trend of tubercular lymphadenitis over a decade - A study from eastern region of India.
Article in Biomedical journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe incidence of tuberculosis (TB) is changing in India. The commonest extra pulmonary manifestation of TB is tuberculous lymphadenitis. AIMS AND
objectivesTo detect changes in occurrence of TB lymphadenitis by comparing current data with that from 10 years back.
methodsFine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) findings of patients presenting with lymphadenopathy between January 2014 and December 2015 were included in the study as current data. Cases of TB lymphadenitis were analysed for cyto-morphological patterns and frequency of acid fast bacilli (AFB) positivity. Cytological data of patients with lymphadenopathy between January 2002 and December 2003, were collected from records. Subsequently, comparison was done between previous data and current observation.
resultsTotal 302 cases of lymphadenopathy were included in 2014 and 2015. Tuberculous lymphadenitis accounted for 96 (31.7%) cases, among which AFB was present in 47 (49%) cases. Data collected from registers of the years 2002 and 2003 included 318 cases where tuberculous lymphadenitis accounted for 161 (50.6%) cases and AFB was detected in 101 (63%) patients. Maximum AFB positivity was found in smears with caseous necrosis only.
conclusionPresently occurrence of TB lymphadenopathy has reduced compared to the period of 2002-2003. Despite this declining trend, the disease continues to be one of the leading causes of lymphadenopathy in both periods.
