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

Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS TB) is the most dreaded manifestation of systemic tuberculosis in the pediatric age group. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to severe neurological complications and sequelae. Knowledge about the imaging spectrum of CNS TB will help in early presumptive diagnosis and prompt treatment, reducing the development of complications. Imaging also plays a vital role in monitoring the progression of disease after the initiation of antituberculosis therapy. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have recently improved the diagnostic efficacy manifold.In this review, we describe the imaging characteristics, the role of advanced imaging techniques, and follow-up imaging in various types of CNS TB in the pediatric population.
