Endoscopic ultrasonographic diagnosis of pancreatic tuberculosis in immunocompetent patients-A case series from eastern India.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Tubercular involvement of pancreas is rare. It presents as a focal lesion of pancreas on cross sectional imaging. Endosonography with fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is crucial for a timely presurgical diagnosis. A retrospective review was conducted on 117 cases of pancreatic focal mass undergoing EUS-FNA at our institution over a period of 3 years, and 5 cases with pancreatic tuberculosis (TB) were detected. The clinical presentation varied from obstructive jaundice, recurrent acute pancreatitis to incidentaloma of pancreas. All patients received antitubercular therapy and were followed up for at least 6 months. In conclusion, pancreatic tuberculosis is a differential of a pancreatic focal lesion and EUS-FNA is the method for diagnosis of this condition that may obviate surgical exploration.
