[Primary hepatic tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient: a case report].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 (TB) is a common infectious disease that most often affects the lungs, but it can also affect any other organ with a wide range of clinical manifestations. There are three forms of hepatic involvement: diffuse hepatic tuberculosis combined with pulmonary tuberculosis; diffuse hepatic tuberculosis without pulmonary involvement; and nodular or focal/local hepatic tuberculosis, which is a very rare form and presents a diagnostic challenge. We here report the case of a young Moroccan man presenting with biliary colic that had been evolving for a month, associated with a forme fruste of tuberculous impregnation. CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver showed nodular hepatic lesions. The diagnosis of focal hepatic tuberculosis was confirmed based on anatomopathological examination of biopsies obtained during laparoscopy. The patient received antitubercular treatment with good clinical-biological outcome.
