Abdominal Tuberculosis Managed Surgically in the Late Phase: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of acute medicine, 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
About 1-5 % of cases of tuberculosis (TB) have uncommon abdominal conditions, and affect primarily young adults. The clinical diagnosis is challenging and often delayed due to the symptoms being non-specific and may be confused with other bowel diseases, therefore resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. A 27-year-old man was brought to our emergency department with the complaints a fever and abdominal pain. According to the chest X-ray findings taken 24 hours previously, pulmonary TB was suspected. Abdominal TB associated intestinal obstruction, ascites and lymphadenopathy were found by computed tomography and exploratory laparotomy. He was treated surgically by segmental resection, however passed away due to severe bleeding caused by the recurrence of perforation of the small intestine and sepsis. This case of systemic TB highlights the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment in time. The early diagnosis and timely treatment are both necessary to manage the disease successfully.
