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 remains a public health concern in developing countries, as well as in developed countries as a result of immigration from endemic areas. Gastroduodenal and colorectal tuberculosis are rare manifestations of gastrointestinal infection. Case Presentation: We present 2 cases of gastric, duodenal, and colorectal tuberculosis. The first case, a 17-year-old male with no medical record, presented with chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain. At endoscopy, he had multiple ulcers in the stomach, colon, and rectum, which were positive to Discussion/Conclusion: Gastroduodenal and colorectal tuberculosis, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients. An adequate tissue sample and appropriate diagnostic tests are essential for the diagnosis and prompt start of first-line antituberculosis agents.
