Report of two rare manifestations of abdominal tuberculosis mimicking neoplasia.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) can affect any organ of the gastrointestinal tract, and as a result of its unspecific symptoms, it may even mimic neoplasia. Rare manifestations are difficult to detect even for the trained eye and require clinical suspicion. We report rare cases of a mechanical ileus due to peritoneal TB in a 41-year-old man and an isolated peripancreatic infection in a 54-year-old woman. While in one patient, suspected malignancy led to diagnostic laparoscopy, it led to a total pancreatectomy with splenectomy in the other case. However, both times histology ruled out malignancy and showed unexpected similarities with TB. The patients responded well to medical treatment, although one patient is struggling with pancreatogenic diabetes.
