A Case of Miliary Perinatal Tuberculosis in a Preterm Newborn Infant Presenting as Peritonitis.

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
Perinatal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare disease with nonspecific clinical symptoms that can result in delayed treatment, and contribute to high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of perinatal TB in a 25-day-old newborn who presented with fever, respiratory distress, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and marked abdominal distension with hepatosplenomegaly. Further workup revealed culture negative sepsis, peritonitis, and diffuse nodular infiltrate in the lungs, liver, and spleen. After an extensive diagnostic workup for potential gastrointestinal causes of sepsis, the diagnosis of TB was finally established via paracentesis and maternal testing. Our objective is to draw attention to the multifaceted clinical manifestations of perinatal TB despite classically being associated with pulmonary symptoms; extensive gastrointestinal involvement should not exclude perinatal TB from the differential during the workup of culture-negative sepsis.
