Spinal Tuberculosis Presenting as Abdominal Pain: Rare Presentation of a Common Disease.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2014. 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
A 25-year-old male presented with complaints of abdominal pain for the past two months. He was prescribed Buscopan and omeprazole by a general surgeon. It was only when patient started complaining of backache that he was referred to an orthopedic surgeon. On examination of spine, there was tenderness at the upper dorsal spine. A diagnosis of Pott's disease affecting the upper dorsal spine was made. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the vertebral changes and showed subligamentous spread of paravertebral masses from D2 to D7. This case illustrates the unusual form in which spine tuberculosis can present. High index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis and prompt management. General surgeons should be aware of this atypical presentation of Pott's disease.
