Delayed Diagnosis of Tuberculoma in a Child with Nephritis due to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tuberculoma is one of the manifestations of tuberculosis infection in the central nervous system. Even though its prevalence is only 1%, the mortality rate is high. Clinical presentation in immunocompromised patients with tuberculoma maybe different, thus making the diagnosis difficult. We present the case of a 13-year-old girl who was admitted for routine intravenous administration of cyclophosphamide and steroid therapy for nephritis due to systemic lupus erythematosus. She experienced severe headache and focal seizure on the second day of hospitalization. Neurology examination did not show any abnormalities. The Xpert MTB/RIF from the cerebrospinal fluid and sputum yielded negative results. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging showed tuberculoma with caseous necrosisaround the fibrous capsule in the right occipital lobe of the brain. Electroencephalography showed no abnormalities. Clinical improvement was seen after 3weeks of treatment; however, antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity occurred.
