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

Tuberculous (TB) involvement of the vascular system has been reported in the preantibiotic era. We, hereby, report a case involving a teenage boy who presented to us with left upper limb pain followed by gradually progressive motor and sensory deficit over 1 month with preceding history of tuberculosis. Examination revealed a palpable, noncompressible, nonpulsatile swelling superior to the lateral third of the clavicle. Imaging through ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm with compression of the underlying nerves. The child underwent surgical thrombectomy with pseudoaneurysm repair and arteriorrhaphy along with antitubercular medications with complete recovery at 6 months. The tissue staining, nucleic acid amplification tests, and histopathology confirmed TB etiology. Tuberculosis continues to remain a major health concern, especially in the developing world. High index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose such manifestations to avoid catastrophic sequelae.
