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

Introduction: Tuberculosis is one of the well-known diseases with significant morbidity and financial burden on the society and health care. Tubercular osteomyelitis constitutes about 10-11% of all extra-pulmonary tuberculosis cases. Disease is believed to be a great imposter, as disease may present in varied forms and/or in atypical sites, making it prone to be missed or misdiagnosed. Case Report: We report a case of tuberculosis of bilateral acromion process in a 53-year-old female who was managed elsewhere for 18 months with physiotherapy. The patient presentation, diagnostic approach, and management along with follow have been discussed in details. Conclusion: We conclude that tuberculosis could affect any bone of the body and may have unusual presentation. Deferential diagnosis of tubercular osteomyelitis/arthritis should always be kept as a differential and ruled out. Histopathological diagnosis is still a gold standard for confirmation of the same.
