Tuberculosis-Associated Septic Shock: A Case Series.

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
Tuberculosis septic shock (TBSS) is a rare diagnosis due to inherent diagnostic difficulty or attribution to alternate causes. We report six cases of TBSS, along with comorbidities, clinical characteristics, hospital course, and in-hospital outcomes. All patients were middle-aged, with a median age of 54.5 years (interquartile range (IQR): 47-62). Four patients were males, whereas two were females. Majority (n = 4, 66.7%) of patients had comorbidities. Diabetes mellitus (n = 3, 50%), systemic hypertension (n = 2, 33.3%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n = 1, 16.7%) were the reported comorbidities in included patients. Median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score at admission was 12 (IQR: 12-16). All patients had a microbiologic diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Four patients (66.7%) had respiratory secretions positive for
