Complicated Neurotuberculosis with sinus venous thrombosis: A case-report.
Article in IDCases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionNeurotuberculosis comprises around 6% of systemic tuberculosis. It targets a younger population, and it often leads to severe neurological complications or death. CASE REPORT: We report a young gentleman with a clinically defined tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and multiple neurological complication associated with TBM occurring simultaneously. This includes hydrocephalus requiring a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, vasculitic infarcts, cranial nerve palsies, TB granuloma and cerebral venous thrombosis. The cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction for tuberculosis as well as cultures remained negative repeatedly. The patient was treated with anti-tuberculous medication in addition to steroids based on validated scoring systems suggestive of TBM and made a good recovery.
conclusionThis report highlights the different complication seen with TBM and the importance of using clinical criteria to guide management plan particularly when cultures are negative.
