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

Tuberculosis (TB) can cause significant morbidity and mortality among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, including disseminated disease. Most TB cases after SOT occur in kidney transplant recipients, although data about TB in this population are sparse. Tuberculosis may present atypically in immunocompromised patients, underscoring why physicians must maintain high clinical suspicion when pertinent epidemiological risk factors are present, including birth or former residence in a country with endemic TB. We describe a unique case of disseminated TB in a 54-year-old Filipino woman who developed central nervous system tuberculoma, Pott's disease, chorioretinitis, and a perinephric fluid collection after kidney transplantation. Despite being a preventable and curable disease, TB remains a relevant and challenging infection with complex diagnostic and treatment guidelines.
