Tuberculoma with phlegmon-like symptoms mimicking soft tissue sarcoma in the wrist: A case report.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2018. 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
Despite the increasing incidence of tuberculosis, even in developed countries like Japan, tuberculoma is a relatively uncommon disease. Furthermore, given the rarity of tuberculoma, a definitive diagnosis is often delayed. We herein present the case of a 79-year-old man who presented with an erythematous and warm mass in the left forearm. Radiography revealed calcification of the wrist's volar side, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mosaic pattern at the lesion. Soft tissue sarcoma of the wrist was suspected, and an incisional biopsy was performed, which revealed numerous yellow rice bodies. A rapid pathological evaluation revealed caseous necrosis and Langhans giant cells, and a histological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculoma. All the rice bodies were resected and the patient received postoperative antibiotic treatment with pyrazinamide, isoniazid, rifampicin and ethambutol. However, the patient developed hepatic insufficiency during treatment, and the regimen was discontinued. The patient had not experienced recurrence 1 year after the treatment. In conclusion, tuberculoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a wrist mass mimicking an inflamed soft tissue tumor.
