Active pulmonary tuberculosis in a patient with secukinumab treatment.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Numerous investigations have documented active tuberculosis (TB) infection following biologic treatment. One of the most secure biologic medications for infections is secukinumab. Additionally, no cases of active TB while receiving secukinumab therapy were recorded. Secukinumab 150 mg per month has been administered for a 19-year-old man with spondyloarthritis since May 2020. A diagnosis of pulmonary TB was made when the patient complained of a moderate fever, a productive cough, and weight loss after 2 years. His fever and respiratory symptoms were relieved after 6 weeks of treatment by stopping secukinumab and utilizing 4 antibiotics: isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, while non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs reduced his joint and back discomfort. During biological therapy, even with secukinumab, annual screening for latent and active TB is crucial. We require additional study on secukinumab-treated patients with active TB in nations with high TB burdens, including Vietnam.
