Miliary Tuberculosis with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Deadly Combination.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
A unique and deadly presentation of miliary tuberculosis is acute respiratory distress syndrome. In this case report, we present the case of a 22-year-old male patient who presented with a history of weight loss, appetite loss for eight months, and rapidly worsening dyspnea for 15 days, for which he was admitted to the intensive care unit. Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) of the thorax revealed bilateral miliary opacities. Routine blood tests revealed hyponatremia and leukocytosis. The patient was started on non-invasive ventilatory support, intravenous corticosteroids, and anti-tubercular therapy on clinical and-radiological suspicion of miliary tuberculosis. The patient was admitted for one month and started to show rapid recovery after initiating anti-tubercular and corticosteroid therapy.
