Small Bowel Obstruction As a Consequence of Peritoneal Tuberculosis.

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
Peritoneal tuberculosis (PTB) is a rare subset of extrapulmonary tuberculosis which account for only 0.5-1% of all cases. PTB diagnosis can be challenging due to nonspecific clinical manifestations. We present a known case of pulmonary tuberculosis that admitted to the surgery ward due to the major complaint of abdominal pain since ten days before admission. In imaging studies, positive findings favoring mechanical obstruction were detected. There were also several hypodense lesions in the liver suggestive of visceral tuberculosis. An adhesion was noted during exploratory laparotomy prior to the ileocecal valve responsible for intestinal obstruction, which was released. Pathology reports of excised tissues were consonant with the PTB diagnosis. PTB diagnosis can be challenging because of its presentation. This can delay the treatment of patients and thus increase morbidity and mortality. As a result, physicians should always be aware of the PTB diagnosis in patients with nonspecific abdominal involvement.
