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

Management of tuberculosis (TB) has witnessed several changes over the past decades. While medical management is now the mainstay of therapy, surgical intervention was once the only treatment option physicians had to offer. We discuss some historical surgical procedures and take a quick glance at the evolution of TB therapy. We note the importance of adequate history-taking and the implications of what seemingly obsolete techniques may have in contemporary practice. We also highlight the re-emergence of surgical options in the modern era with the rise of multidrug-resistance.
