Isolated laryngeal tuberculosis complex infection: expect the unexpected.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Laryngeal tuberculosis (LT), a rare but possible manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TBC) and the most frequent granulomatous disease of the larynx, is slowly resurfacing due to the worldwide recrudescence of TBC. We present the case of a 59 y-o Caucasian woman, non-smoker, with no history of recent travels in endemic areas, affected by pulmonary sarcoidosis, that presented with a symptomatic vegetating lesion involving the left free margin of the epiglottic and a small, ulcerated lesion over the right arytenoid mucosa. While the patient's profile would not lead to a primary suspect of laryngeal TBC, the diagnostic workup and histological examination confirmed the unusual finding, and the patient was started on standard antitubercular therapy, with a complete laryngeal response. Although isolated laryngeal tuberculosis is still a rare finding, it should be kept into consideration also in non-endemic areas, especially in patients with chronic disease requiring immunosuppressive drugs.
