Submandibular Gland Tuberculosis: A Literature Review and Update.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Submandibular salivary gland is an uncommon and unusual site for tuberculosis. It is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation of a common infection caused by Mycobacterium tubercle bacillus. Submandibular gland TB can be due to primary or secondary infection. The clinical features are non-specific and depend on its manifestations. A delay in diagnosis is common because of the rarity of disease. Direct histological examination is the best method of diagnosis. As the disease is curable with antituberculous drugs; treatment should not be withheld in suspected cases until the diagnosis is confirmed. Surgery is indicated for non-responsive disease and complications. Till date, only 15 cases have been reported in the literature. First case was reported in the year 1990. The authors encountered three cases in last 10 years. The aims of this study are to review clinical presentation, epidemiological features, diagnostic methods and to provide our data and guidelines for optimum management of this rare pathology.
