Tuberculosis of the spine and drug resistance: a review article.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Pott's spine is tuberculosis of spine caused due to hematogenous spread of mycobacterium from a primary focus. It constitutes about 50% of skeletal tuberculosis cases. Paradiscal type is the most common type of spinal tuberculosis. Untreated cases can lead to complications like a cold abscess, paraplegia, and deformity which may require surgical intervention. Rapid molecular methods have made the diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis and drug resistance faster and easier but it still remains a problem due to difficulties in sample collection and the paucibacillary nature of the Pott spine. Antitubercular drug therapy forms the mainstay of management. The emergence of MDR TB and XDR TB has posed a big challenge in the management of spinal tuberculosis. The literature regarding drug resistance in spinal tuberculosis and its management is lacking. We conducted a literature review of 29 studies and presented information on pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of spinal tuberculosis and drug resistance. New shorter regimens for MDR and XDR TB are under trial in different parts of the world. We believe this article will provide information on spinal tuberculosis and drug resistance and help clinicians outline important research areas.
