Intestinal Tuberculosis Presenting as an Ileocecal Mass in a Renal Transplant Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Abdominal tuberculosis accounts for approximately 5% of tuberculosis cases. However, recognition of this entity can be challenging in the absence of concomitant pulmonary involvement. Immunocompromised and immunosuppressed patients are at elevated risk for this infection and are confronted with increased side effects, drug interactions, and disease complications. We report the case of a 53-year-old female renal transplant recipient with a remote history of tuberculosis exposure who presented with sepsis and abdominal pain and was found to have an obstructive ileocecal mass. Serologic and pathologic testing ultimately led to the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis, and she was treated successfully with a course of antimycobacterial therapy with only minor complications.
