Successful treatment of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis presenting concomitantly with acute myeloid leukemia.
Article in Infection, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThere were reports of the occurrence of TB during therapy for leukemia with possible complications. In patients with acute leukemia, therapy might be delayed or complicated by the presence of tuberculosis.
methodWe present a patient who was diagnosed with acute leukemia and concomitant tuberculosis.
resultsThe patient's therapy of leukemia had to be delayed and he had relapse of leukemia but was subsequently treated successfully for both diseases despite a prolonged culture positivity for tuberculosis. He required a prolonged course of therapy and additional secondary anti-tuberculosis therapy.
conclusionsThe possibility of tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with pneumonia, persistent fever, and those with focal signs or symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis. Despite having a sensitive organism, the infection was difficult to treat, even with the addition of two second-line drugs. The standard anti-tuberculosis therapy is usually adequate, but response may be slow, and inadequate even if the organism is sensitive requiring the addition of second-line agents.
