Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: An unusual presentation of disseminated tuberculosis: A case report and literature review.
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an aggressive and life-threatening syndrome associated with cytokine storm. Here, we present a patient with acquired HLH associated with Case presentation: We report a 66-year-old hypertensive and diabetic male patient who presented with four days history of fever and abdominal pain. Denied history of cough and weight loss. Laboratory investigation showed: elevated ferritin, C-reactive protein, and triglyceride. Bone marrow examination showed > 50% hemophagocytosis (RBCs and platelets ingested by macrophages), positive acid-fast bacillus for Conclusion: The present case highlights on the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of acquired HLH associated with tuberculous infection to improve the clinical outcome of the patient.
