Tuberculosis presenting with seizure and abdominal pain in a young female: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
In this case report, a 23-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department with complaints of abdominal pain, weight loss, progressive headaches, and an episode of seizure-like activity. Computerized tomography abdomen/pelvis revealed multilobulated ovarian masses and scattered peritoneal thickening. A brain Magnetic resonance imaging was ordered and demonstrated a peripherally enhancing intracranial mass. The brain lesion was resected and pathology revealed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Cultures were positive for acid fast bacilli. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis and treated with multidrug therapy. Upon further questioning, the patient had recently traveled to a tuberculosis endemic region. This case highlights the importance of an in-depth history and physical exam as a means to a more complete differential diagnosis considering the age of the patient and the findings on imaging.
