Tuberculous Osteomyelitis of the Left Fifth Metatarsal and Phalanx Without Pulmonary Involvement: A First-of-Its-Type Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 manifesting at extrapulmonary sites is relatively rare. Isolated cases involving small bones of the foot are the rarest of the rare. We herein present the case of a 30-year-old Indian female who presented with pain and a wound with a discharging sinus over her left foot. In the absence of constitutional symptoms of tuberculosis, this case was diagnosed as isolated tuberculous osteomyelitis of the left fifth metatarsal and phalanx with the help of radiography, a cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test, a line probe assay, a culture of the biopsy specimen, and magnetic resonance imaging. She was initiated on anti-tubercular treatment per national guidelines.
