Tuberculosis of Finger Presenting As Non-healing Ulcer of Digit: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic granulomatous infection which most often localises to the respiratory system. Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis is prevalent in immunocompromised individuals, of which cutaneous tuberculosis is exceedingly rare (0.5-2%). Cutaneous TB presents with varied clinical morphologies, either acquired exogenously via direct inoculation on the skin or endogenously due to systemic dissemination. Diagnosis is particularly challenging due to the multitude of differential diagnoses of skin lesions. Microbiological evidence from biopsy and histopathological findings suggestive of granulomatous inflammation are needed to make a definitive diagnosis. Herein we present a rare case of tuberculosis of the finger in a middle-aged man who presented with an ulcerating and erythematous lesion. As cutaneous TB is usually misdiagnosed at the earlier stages, dermatologists and primary care physicians should keep high suspicion for cutaneous TB in any non-healing ulcers which are otherwise unexplained.
