Tuberculosis: a timeless challenge for medicine.
Review in Journal of preventive medicine and hygiene, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
This overview shows how tuberculosis has represented and still represents a continuous challenge for Medicine. Starting from the dawn of medicine, when tuberculosis was called "phthisis" by Hippocrates, passing through the discovery of the tubercles and the creation of the word "tuberculosis", following the application of the anatomo-clinical method, until the discovery of a microscopic enemy: Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The progressive discovery of the pathological basis of tuberculosis has allowed to devise important therapeutic strategies in Pre-Antibiotic and Post-Antibiotic Era. In particular, "antibiotic therapy" had to be the end of the challenge between man and tuberculosis. However it was only an illusion. Despite progress in care and prevention, tuberculosis remains one of the world's leading causes of ill-health and the first cause of death from infectious disease. Nowadays, the drug resistance, individuals with immune deficiencies, the ageing and globalization are just some of the causes responsible for the increasing of the challenge between man and tuberculosis.
