Tuberculosis: Cliché or Outsider?
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 is an infectious disease with the potential for multisystemic dissemination, including the central nervous system (CNS). It is difficult to diagnose when the central nervous system is involved. Brain biopsy is the diagnostic method par excellence for diagnostic confirmation; however, as it is an invasive method and therefore not free from risks, before carrying it out, extra-CNS sites should be privileged, whenever available, through mycobacteriological culture. Here, we present a case of a 34-year-old female with chronic onset of neurologic semiology, whose diagnostic evolution culminated in the diagnosis of cerebral tuberculomas and miliary tuberculosis. Rapid commencement of antibacillaty therapy led to the resolution of the neurologic deficits. Although we face a cliché clinical presentation, in the sense that is very common, the authors consider it outsider because such a presentation is rarely seen in Portugal.
