Tuberculosis of the Scapula, Humerus, and Postero-Lateral Thoracic Wall Without Pulmonary Involvement Mimicking Ewing's Sarcoma: A Report of a Rare Case.
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 can present in various atypical forms. The clinical manifestations could involve sites like bones. Tuberculosis of the scapula, humerus, and posterolateral thoracic wall is extremely rare, and diagnosis is challenging due to similarities with conditions like tumors. A young boy presented with swelling of the right shoulder joint for three months. The diagnosis was challenging due to similarities with Ewing's sarcoma on the initial radiometric workup. A clinical assessment and diagnostic workup with biopsy, a cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test, and an advanced radiometric investigation resulted in a final diagnosis. He was started on antituberculous drugs for 12 months.
