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

Despite the advancements made in medicine and treatment of tuberculosis over the last century, it remains a significant healthcare challenge. It remains the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent and the ninth leading cause of death worldwide. A 23-year-old male with a history of tuberculosis treated in Nepal seven years prior, presented to the emergency department with one week of hemoptysis, fever, chills, night sweats and weight loss. A CT scan of the chest showed multiple cavitary lesions at the superior segment of the left lower lobe. He had persistent massive hemoptysis and required blood transfusions. He underwent bronchial artery embolization followed by lobectomy. He was ultimately diagnosed with fluoroquinolone-resistant tuberculosis, and required a prolonged intensive care unit with transfer to a regional tuberculosis center to successfully complete treatment.
