Primary hepatic tuberculosis presenting as fever of unknown origin diagnosed by Positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan (PET/CT).
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Tuberculosis (TB), especially extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), is an important cause of fever of unknown origin (FUO) in areas endemic to TB. Liver involvement in TB in the absence of miliary TB is rare. A definitive diagnosis of primary hepatic TB can be challenging and relies on the histological and/or bacteriological findings of the liver tissue obtained by biopsy. TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of space-occupying lesions and abscesses of the liver. In our case of a 52-year-old adult male with FUO, a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan was used, due to lack of any potential diagnostic clues, and a focal lesion was identified as a potential biopsy site.
