Knee Tuberculosis Presenting As Pigmented villonodular Synovitis.

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
Introduction: Extra pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) May mimic other diseases in clinical presentation which might be difficult to differentiate and diagnose. Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) may closely resemble tuberculosis of the knee joint. In younger patients, without any other co-morbid conditions TB of knee joint and PVNS in the knee might present with involvement of the isolated joint, with swelling which is painful for long duration with restriction in the range of motion. Treatment of both the conditions differs vastly and delay in the treatment can result in permanent disfiguration of the joint. Case Report: A male 35 years old having a right knee painful swelling since last 6 months. The thorough physical examination, radiographs, and MRI suggest PVNS but an altogether different diagnosis is made after confirmatory investigations, i.e. Histopathological examination. Conclusion: Clinical and radiological presentation of TB and PVNS can mimic each other . Therefore TB should be suspected specially in the like India (endemic). For confirmation of diagnosis hisptopathological and mycobacterial results are important.
