1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To determine the incidence of tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBL) and other pathologies in cervical lymphadenopathies in Somalia and accompanying radiological findings. Methods: In this hospital-based retrospective study, the demographic characteristics, pathology results and radiological findings of 263 patients who underwent ultrasound (US)-guided cervical lymph node biopsy between January 2016 and February 2020 were analyzed. Results: Of 241 patients 118 men and 123 women (mean age 27.9 ± 18.1 years) included in the study, 46.1% ( Conclusion: In Somalia, in the presence of cervical lymphadenopathy, after diagnosis by using US-guided biopsy; primarily considering of TBL and malignancy, thoracic involvement should be investigated, and esophageal carcinoma must be excluded in terms of metastatic lymph node.
