1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Oral cavity involvement in tuberculosis (TB), particularly palatine, is extremely rare and mostly described in case reports. Management of these cases usually responds to classic antitubercular therapy. Some serious complications such as paradoxical reactions (PRs) may however occur, making it more challenging for physicians to treat and to manage. We present a case of a 30-year-old female patient with a history of juvenile idiopathic arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus who presented a bifocal form of TB involving the palate and the cervical lymph nodes. Follow-up after 2 months of proper antitubercular treatment revealed a PR of the lymph nodes contrasting with a favorable outcome of the oral lesions. It seems useful to raise all clinicians' awareness to suspect TB when they deal with chronic drug-resistant oral erosions and to keep in mind the diagnosis of PR when there is a worsening of one lesion and a favorable outcome of another.
