Gastric Extramural Tumor Caused by Mycobacteria Infection With Immunoreconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Immunoreconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) was reported to occur in 7-13% of AIDS patients on anti-retroviral therapy (ART). IRIS due to Mycobacterium infection is one of the most difficult IRIS types to manage. A male patient in his early 70s was diagnosed with AIDS and treated with an ART. One year after starting ART, abdominal ultrasound was performed for screening and a 4 cm hypoechoic mass was found from the outside of the stomach to the surface of the hepatic lateral segment. Based on various imaging tests, including contrast CT, a malignant tumor, such as malignant lymphoma, was suspected. Then, a percutaneous tumor biopsy was performed. Pathologically, the tumor was recognized as mycobacterial granulomas. Disseminated mycobacterium avium complex can produce granulomas anywhere in the body. The patient was diagnosed with a mycobacterial infection associated with IRIS. When an intra-abdominal mass is found in a patient with HIV, both malignancy and mass formation due to opportunistic infections should be considered differential diseases.
