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 incidence of bone tuberculosis is less than 5% of all tuberculosis cases. Furthermore, multifocal bone tuberculosis is uncommon, which rarely occurs without primary foci. It is difficult to diagnose, particularly if it is localized in both humeral heads. On the other hand, the isolated iliac bone tuberculosis is exceptional; it constitutes, also, a challenging diagnosis, which requires a high index of clinical suspicion and advanced investigations. Herein, we first report a case of multifocal tuberculosis of both humeral heads with no primary foci, and we secondarily report a case of isolated iliac bone tuberculosis. At last, however, the histological exam and polymerase chain reaction for the
