Intestinal tuberculosis masquerading as carcinoma colon: a case report of diagnostic quandary in low-resource setting.
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 5 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
Intestinal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare condition comprising a majority of the extra-pulmonary TB cases. Owing to a similar clinical presentation, ultrasonographic and biopsy findings of intestinal TB with that of other abdominal pathologies such as carcinoma colon, their clinical delineation is very difficult unless aided with other modalities of investigations such as colonoscopy, culture of the biopsy material, etc. and even advanced methods such as polymerase chain reaction and gene X-pert of the biopsy material. Having all these investigations may not even lead to a correct diagnosis of intestinal TB as evidenced in the reported cases in the literature, advocating the need of diagnostic laparoscopy in the diagnosis of intestinal TB to eliminate extensive and unnecessary surgeries. Here, we present a case of intestinal TB in a 51-year-gentleman who got diagnosed in the course of treatment for a suspected carcinoma colon.
