Relapsing paradoxical reaction in miliary tuberculosis: a case report and literature review.
Article in Respirology 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.
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
Paradoxical reaction (PR) after initiating anti-tuberculous therapy (ATT) is a well-recognized immune phenomenon. Less recognized, however, is a pulmonary reaction that is associated with miliary tuberculosis (TB), which can be a source of diagnostic confusion and progress to respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We report an elderly patient who developed PR associated with respiratory failure following ATT for miliary TB, with radiological and pathological documentation. He responded to corticosteroids, but relapsed twice when the dose was reduced. It is imperative to be familiar with this form of PR to avoid diagnostic pitfalls and initiate appropriate therapy.
