Disseminated tuberculosis with symptoms of decreased consciousness: A rare case in Indonesian male.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundDisseminated tuberculosis is a rare case that causes high mortality and morbidity. CASE PRESENTATION: A 59-year-old man with a glasgow coma scale of 12, cerebrospinal fluid was found to have dominant mononuclear, high protein level, low glucose level and shortness of breath. A chest X-ray revealed a right pleural effusion with infiltrates in both lung parenchyma and a pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) test showed 66.1 U/L. Thoracolumbar MRI revealed a compression fracture in the 6th thoracic vertebral body. The patient was given category 1 anti-tuberculosis drug (ATD) therapy plus streptomycin and dexamethasone and water seal drainage (WSD) was installed. The patient experienced improvement after taking ATD after 4 months in which the patient could stand and walk by using an object in front of him. DISCUSSION: Accurate and prompt diagnosis of disseminated tuberculosis minimizes patient's mortality and morbidity. Suspicion of tuberculosis can be raised if the patient is experiencing health problems in endemic tuberculosis.
conclusionDisseminated tuberculosis (pulmonary tuberculosis, tuberculous pleurisy, tuberculous meningitis, and tuberculous spondylitis) can be managed properly using ATD category 1.
