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

Diagnosis of tuberculosis was affected during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Several studies have shown an association between tuberculosis reactivation and COVID-19, but disseminated tuberculosis was rare. We present a case of a 17-year-old male hospitalized due to a fever of unknown origin for two weeks. The patient recovered from COVID-19 five weeks ago, and his nasopharyngeal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was negative on current hospitalization. After investigations, diagnosis of disseminated tuberculosis was made by lymph node biopsy and radiological features. The patient was treated with four anti-tuberculosis medications and had a favorable outcome.
