Pancoast tumor mimicking lung tuberculosis, a case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
It is well-recognized that tuberculosis (TB) can mimic several clinical diseases, particularly cancer. On several occasions, lung TB can be misdiagnosed as cancer, particularly in developed countries with a rare case of TB and high incidence of lung cancer, and vice versa- in which Indonesia, with a high incidence of TB, lung cancer may be mistakenly identified as TB, delaying the initiation of definitive therapy and causing unnecessary diagnostic and treatment procedures. We reported a 59-year-old male who complained of right upper chest pain, accompanied by chronic cough and weight loss, with a history of 6-month treatment with a TB regimen without resolution of his symptoms. Core biopsy CT guiding pathology anatomy revealed atypical adenocarcinoma. All patients seeking medical attention must be treated carefully, avoiding diagnostic procedures that can result in a delay in definitive therapy.
