Tuberculous peritonitis; The effectiveness of diagnostic laparoscopy and the perioperative infectious prevention: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTuberculous peritonitis (TBP) is uncommon in Japan, and its diagnosis with conventional methods is time taking and requires a high clinical index of suspicion. Laparoscopy with peritoneal biopsy is a tool for rapid and accurate diagnosis of TBP. However, few cases have mentioned the infectious control and prevention during the perioperative period. This case is written following the SCARE scale for case report writing. CASE PRESENTATION: A 30-year-old man from Southeast Asia with a past medical history of pulmonary tuberculosis at 3-year-old admitted to our institution with abdominal pain and slight fever lasting for a week. With the elevation of inflammatory response and CA125, we conducted CT (Computed tomography). Not only ascites, panniculitis with peritoneal nodules, and the thickening of the omentum were found. Considering the possibility of malignancy and TBP, we performed a diagnostic laparoscopy. Slightly cloudy ascites, peritoneal and thickening omentum with white nodules were seen, and pathological diagnosis from the omentum during the operation raised the possibility of TBP due to its caseating granuloma and these findings allowed us to start the rapid treatment.
conclusionWe reported the effectiveness of diagnostic laparoscopy along with the aspect of perioperative prevention for TBP.
