1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This case report presents an unusual occurrence of miliary tuberculosis with thyroid tuberculosis in a 75-year-old male patient, who successfully completed the treatment with rifabutin after rifampicin-induced thrombocytopenia. The patient has been suffering from diabetes mellitus and chronic heart failure, and had coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) just before being diagnosed with miliary tuberculosis. The patient had not been prescribed immunosuppressants and steroids. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans revealed multiple tiny nodules diffusely and equally distributed in bilateral lung fields. Subsequently, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques on the urine samples and culture of sputum demonstrated positivity for
