Otolaryngological Manifestations of Tuberculosis: A Clinical Study.
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 4 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
The aim of this study was to increase awareness of the different presentations of head and neck tuberculosis (TB) and to discuss its diagnostic difficulties. A prospective study of patients who presented to us, at a tertiary referral hospital, primarily with TB of head and neck was done from September 2014 to August 2016. Patients were categarised into proper category of Anti Tuberculous Treatment (ATT) and were treated according to ATT regimen. All patients were followed up at 2 months and 6 months after starting ATT. A total of 170 patients presented with primary head and neck TB during the study period. Most of these (96%) had cervical lymphadenopathy, 5 patients had laryngeal TB, and there was 1 patient each of TB of middle ear. 102 were males, and 68 were females. 25.8% of cases had associated pulmonary TB. (1) Diagnosing TB requires a high index of suspicion. (2) Tuberculosis of the cervical lymph nodes is the commonest presentation followed by laryngeal TB. (3) Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a reliable and easy way to diagnose TB. However, newer diagnostic tests will increase the yield of positive cases and should be used whenever required. (4) In the larynx, the vocal cords were the commonest site affected and laryngeal TB need not be associated with lung TB or positive sputum always. (5) Patients who have TB of head and neck must be investigated to exclude pulmonary or systemic TB.
