Perianal ulcerative skin tuberculosis: A case report.

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
rationaleUlcerative skin tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of extrapulmonary TB. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 65-year-old patient with perianal ulcer, which had been present for 1 year. Anamnesis revealed he had been persistently coughing for the same period of time. Histological examination of perianal skin showed necrotizing granulomatous lesions, acid-fast staining in sputum samples was ++++, TB antibody in the blood was positive, TB DNA test was positive, and chest scan that showed secondary pulmonary TB accompanied by possible pulmonary cavity formation in the 2 upper lungs.
interventionsAnti-TB therapy with isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide for 6 months. The skin ulcer completely healed after 6 months.
conclusionTB should be suspected for nonhealing ulcers. Pertinent studies should be done early during the lesion; finally, TB treatment should be initiated immediately after diagnosis is made.
