Chest wall tumor tuberculosis in Indonesian adolescent: A rare case.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
backgroundExtrapulmonary tuberculosis has increased in the last few decades, and establishing a diagnosis is still challenging. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15 years old Indonesian adolescent complained of a lump on the right lung. The patient and his mother had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis and received the anti-tuberculosis drug. Chest inspection showed a soft consistency mass, smooth surface, poorly defined borders, and size of 7 × 7 cm in the posterolateral dextra region. Radiological examination showed a mass of 2 × 2.5 × 5.3 cm in the right anterior mediastinum. FNAB lymph nodes showed granulomatous inflammation consistent with tuberculosis. The patient had a wide excision tumor, and a GeneXpert MTB/RIF examination of the tumor excision material showed that Mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected very low. The patient received an anti-tuberculosis drug and had a good prognosis. DISCUSSION: Patients with a family history of tuberculosis should be examined for tuberculosis. Although in a patient with lung carcinoma signs and symptoms, it does not rule out chest wall tuberculosis.
conclusionEnforcement of the correct diagnosis can increase the prognosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
