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

backgroundTuberculous peritonitis (TBP) is a chronic, diffuse inflammation of the peritoneum caused by CASE SUMMARY: We present an older male patient with TBP complicated by an abdominal mass. The patient's preoperative symptoms, signs and imaging data suggested a possible abdominal tumor. After surgical treatment, the patient's primary diagnosis of TBP complicating an intraperitoneal tuberculous abscess was established by combining past medical history, postoperative pathology, and positive results of TB-related laboratory tests. The patient's symptoms were significantly reduced after surgical treatment, and he was discharged from the hospital with instructions to continue treatment at a TB specialist hospital and to undergo anti-TB treatment if necessary.

conclusionThis case report analyses the management of TBP complicated by intraperitoneal tuberculous abscess and highlights the importance of early definitive diagnosis in the hope of improving the clinical management of this type of disease.
