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
The diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in camels at slaughter houses heavily relies on post mortem (PM) meat inspection to detect granulomatous lesions; however, the sensitivity of this technique is not perfect. The objective of this study was to isolate and characterize mycobacteria associated with suspect TB pathological lesions at PM. At PM, 1600 camels were examined in two county slaughterhouses. One hundred and thirty two, 8.25% (132/1600) (Binomial CI 95% 6.95-9.71%), suspect granulomatous lesions were found. Twenty seven, 1.69% (27/1600) (Binomial CI 95% 1.11-2.45%), were confirmed as acid-fast bacilli (AFB) using Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining after culture. Speciation using the GenoType® Mycobacterium assay (Hain Lifesciences, Nehren, Germany) found a majority isolates to be Mycobacterium fortuitum (17), the other species identified included M. szulgai (2), M. scrofulaceum (3), M. marinum (1), M. intracellulare (1), M. gordonae (1), and 2 unidentified mycobacteria species. The types of lesions observed were nodular, caseous masses involving whole organs or cavities, and purulent masses. The highest proportion of suspect lesions were observed in the right, left bronchial lymph nodes, and the mediastinal lymph nodes (59.54%), followed by the retropharyngeal lymph nodes (12.21%), the medial lobe (10.67%), and the left lateral and quadrate lobes of the lungs (17.58%). The 6-7 age category had higher odds (OR = 2.5) of culture positivity. It was concluded that a variety of NTM species of medical importance were associated with TB lesions in the thoracic lymph nodes and lungs. There is need to unravel the public health significance of these mycobacteria.
