Oral ulcer as presentation of cavitating pulmonary tuberculosis.
Article in IDCases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Tuberculosis is an indolent infection that can invade any organ. Although the most frequent form of presentation is pulmonary, it can have an extra-pulmonary presentation, including rare cases of oral tuberculosis. We present a clinical case of a 44 year-old man, active smoker, with an ulcerated lesion on the posterior third of the tongue, initially interpreted as a probable neoplasm. The pathological study of the biopsy performed on the lesion, showed alterations compatible with a chronic granulomatous process and the presence of acid-fast bacilli. The concomitant diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was made in a subsequent study. The patient started therapy with isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol with complete resolution of the oral lesion and pulmonary tuberculosis. This case exemplifies the importance of including tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of ulcerated and neoformative lesions and the value of performing a microbiological study alongside the pathological one.
