Coinfection of Typhoid Fever With Tuberculosis: A Challenge to Surgical Management.

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
Ileal perforation is one of the most dreaded complications of abdominal tuberculosis. It is more common in immunodeficient patients, where ulcerative type of intestinal tuberculosis predominates. Various factors play role in the outcome of these patients, such as age and comorbid illness, though the lag period (advent of symptoms to time of admission to hospital) correlated directly to the mortality in these patients. Herein we present a 28-year-old male who had a coinfection of typhoid fever along with intestinal tuberculosis. The patient presented with abdominal pain and fever for one-week duration. On examination, he had diffuse tenderness of his abdomen with guarding. X-ray revealed free air under diaphragm. The patient underwent limited resection of terminal ileum and cecum with end ileostomy for ileal perforation. The patient's serum Widal test was positive and blood culture grew
