Peripancreatic tuberculosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.

Investigations revealed that there was a pancreatic mass causing obstructive jaundice. However, the aetiology of the mass, whether tubercular or malignant, was not clear. Hence, the patient was planned for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology. Cytology and aspirate were sent for a cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test which revealed the presence of
