Chest Imaging for Pulmonary TB-An Update.
Review in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in children is challenging. Difficulties in acquiring suitable specimens, pauci-bacillary load, and limitations of current diagnostic methods often make microbiological confirmation difficult. Chest imaging provides an additional diagnostic modality that is frequently used in clinical practice. Chest imaging can also provide insight into treatment response and identify development of disease complications. Despite widespread use, chest radiographs are usually non-specific and have high inter- and intra-observer variability. Other diagnostic imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide additional information to substantiate diagnosis. In this review, we discuss the radiological features of PTB in each modality, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each. We also address newer imaging technologies and potential use.
