Scrofuloderma and granuloma annulare-like lesions: Challenges of diagnosing cutaneous tuberculosis in developed countries.
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 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
Tuberculosis remains a global health concern, as the increasing levels of urban poverty, higher number of immunodeficient patients and the development of drug resistance threaten the overall efforts made to induce a downward trend for the disease. Scrofuloderma, also known as tuberculosis cutis colliquativa is a subtype of cutaneous tuberculosis. Here we detail a case of a 70-year-old female patient presented with unilateral, left-sided, multiple palpable, painful, ulcerated and purulent cervical nodules, accompanied by persistent generalized erythematous popular granuloma annulare-like skin lesions on the upper extremities. Based on the result of the PCR assay, culture, imaging and histopathological findings, the diagnosis of scrofuloderma was established. To achieve prompt diagnosis and early treatment, it is crucial to include scrofuloderma in the differential diagnosis of ulcerated lesions in developed countries as well, and also be aware of the additional clinical symptoms, such as granuloma annulare-like lesions, possibly accompanying cutaneous tuberculosis.
