Intramedullary Spinal Tuberculoma: An Uncommon Presentation of a Common Disorder.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Intramedullary tuberculoma (IMT) is rare and usually indistinguishable from spinal cord tumors. Thus, the diagnosis of an IMT is challenging. Our case deals with an unusual presentation of a 55-year-old Asian man who had presented with lower limb weakness which was found to be caused by the dissemination of tuberculosis (TB) resulting in an IMT, a rare complication of tuberculosis. The patient also had a concurrent incidental hepatitis B infection. The treatment of IMT is anti-tuberculous medication. This case highlights the significance of the prompt diagnosis of an IMT, urgent intervention particularly in developing areas of the world where tuberculosis is still endemic, an increased probability of patients having an IMT, and their diagnoses being missed.
