Central nervous system tuberculoma mimicking a brain tumor: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The central nervous system (CNS) is a rare but serious site of tuberculosis spread that manifests in three forms: meningitis, spinal arachnoiditis, and CNS tuberculoma. CNS tuberculoma, or intracranial tuberculous granuloma, is a caseating or non-caseating granulomatous reaction within the brain parenchyma that may mimic a brain tumor. We present the case of a 10-year-old male patient with a travel history to Western Africa who presented to our institution after his fourth tonic-clonic seizure over 2 months. MRI of the brain revealed a solitary cortical/subcortical enhancing intracranial mass with intralesional hemorrhage and mineralization, pathologically proven to represent a CNS tuberculoma. While rare, this etiology should be considered with the appropriate travel history and for which prompt treatment may improve outcomes in the pediatric population.
