Comparison of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Microbiological and Histopathological Observations in the Diagnosis of Endometrial Tuberculosis.

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
backgroundFemale genital tuberculosis often faces diagnostic challenges due to the asymptomatic nature of the disease. Our study aims at comparing the microbiological and histopathological results with PCR in diagnosing genital tuberculosis in endometrial curettage specimens.
methodsAround 139 patients with diverse gynaecological complaints were recruited for the study, and endometrial curettage specimens were collected. The specimens were subjected to microbiological culture and staining, histopathological examination and PCR to look for the presence of
resultsPCR yielded a detection rate of 41.7% (58/139) when compared to the microbiology (2.15%) and histopathology results (1.43%). PCR with
conclusionThe results obtained in this study suggest that for a definitive diagnosis, combinations of the results from various diagnostics techniques can only be considered.
