Orofacial tuberculosis: A diagnostic challenge.
Article in IDCases, 2020. 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
Tuberculosis is typically a pulmonary chronic infectious disease with a high prevalence in developing countries which carries a substantial rate of mortality. Extrapulmonary disease may occur, mainly second to the endogenous spread of the pathogen from the primary site. Oral or mandibular involvement represents a minority among the reported cases. A 12-year-old female patient with a diffuse left-sided facial swelling and dull pain that gradually developed over 8 months, presented to us with misdiagnosis and poor management. Examination was found to have a firm swelling involving the buccal region, and left posterior mandible with intact overlying skin and mucosa, and palpable cervical lymphadenopathy. Imaging showed a heterogeneous osteolytic lesion of left ramus extending to the surrounding soft tissue. The diagnosis with oro-facial tuberculosis was established by histopathological study and confirmed by the Mantoux test and polymerase chain reaction. Although it occurs rarely, oro-facial tuberculosis has detrimental local and systemic effects, and devoid of characteristic clinical and radiographic features, poses a diagnostic challenge.
