Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis: A case report.
Article in Open life sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis is a rare disease. Even in areas where tuberculosis is endemic, its incidence is also extremely low. Here, we will report a rare case of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis. A 29-year-old male patient presented with a 2-month history of sore throat, nasal congestion, dysphagia, and low-grade fever. Thickened mucosa in the posterior wall of the nasopharynx was shown from nasopharyngoscopy, covered with a thick, yellowish, purulent secretion that was not easily removed. Computed tomography of the nasopharynx showed thickening of the mucosa in the right and left bilateral walls and the posterior wall with indistinct margins. Histopathological examination diagnosed nasopharyngeal tuberculosis granuloma. Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis is rare and has atypical symptoms. When a new organism appears in the nasopharynx, it should be differentiated from tuberculosis, autoimmune diseases, and tumors, and a tissue biopsy of the new organism should be performed to make a final diagnosis based on histopathology.
