Hepatic Tuberculosis Manifested as Hepatic Abscess: A Report of a Unique Case.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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.

Abstract
Millions of people around the world suffer from tuberculosis (TB), a long-term contagious illness. TB can invade almost all human body systems, with the respiratory system being the most impacted. Hepatic TB is a form of TB infection that affects the liver. It is considered an extrapulmonary manifestation of TB, which is a rare manifestation. Early identification of hepatic TB allows for prompt treatment, while leaving it untreated can result in fatality. Our patient is a 46-year-old female who presented with fever, weight loss, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. An abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (abdominal CECT) scan shows a well-defined, peripherally enhancing hypodense lesion in the liver, which helps with diagnosis. The biopsy demonstrates granulomatous inflammation accompanied by caseating necrosis. The objective of our study is to provide a detailed description of this unique condition through a case presentation.
