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
introductionAdrenal tuberculosis remains the main cause of primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) in tuberculosis (TB)-prevalent regions. This case report details the presentation of PAI due to adrenal TB, where the etiological diagnosis involves Abdominal Computed Tomography (CT). CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old Peruvian woman with a history of TB contact displayed symptoms of adrenal insufficiency. PAI diagnosis was established, and CT imaging unveiled bilateral adrenal enlargement with calcifications. Treatment with prednisone and anti-TB therapy led to symptomatic improvement. Unfortunately, she succumbed to pneumonia after ten months of follow-up. DISCUSSION: Adrenal TB must be considered in endemic regions and in the presence of a TB history. CT serves as a valuable diagnostic tool, particularly in settings with limited resources, revealing adrenal enlargement and calcifications.
conclusionIn patients with PAI, epidemiological history of TB, and when a rapid biopsy is not feasible, CT proves to be a valuable diagnostic method.
