1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 extrapulmonary tuberculosis in patients with end-stage renal disease can be challenging as the signs and symptoms are often non-specific. In this study, we present a case of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in an Ethiopian woman with end-stage renal disease who had subcarinal and right hilar lymphadenopathy, moderate sized right pleural effusion, hypercalcemia, and elevated parathyroid hormone-related protein in the setting of an elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. After being started on appropriate tuberculosis treatment, patient's parathyroid hormone-related protein level decreased and calcium level normalized. Our literature review showed that the elevation of parathyroid hormone-related protein in extrapulmonary tuberculosis has not been well studied, and it is our aim to explore the role of parathyroid hormone-related protein in extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
