Takayasu Arteritis Associated with Latent Tuberculosis Infection: A 39-Year-Old Woman Is the First Case in Gabon.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND Takayasu disease is a rare disease affecting large vessels, particularly the aorta and its main branches. The affected arteries become partially occluded. The disease is more frequent in women under 40 years of age, with a ratio of women to men of 8: 1. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who was admitted to the medical ward at the Military Hospital in Gabon. She presented with multiple aneurysms, arterial stenosis, and a positive tuberculin skin test and was diagnosed with Takayasu disease associated with latent tuberculosis infection. This rare case is the first to be reported in Gabon, with a delay in diagnosis of approximately 7 months. CONCLUSIONS This is the first case of Takayasu arteritis that has been described in Gabon and has generated medical interest beyond the country regarding the diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic approach.
