Genital tuberculosis masquerading as hematometra in an adolescent girl with an acute abdomen: A case report.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Childhood and adolescent TB is a silent epidemic. The occurrence of genital tuberculosis (TB) in adolescent girls is rare. This condition is easily misdiagnosed owing to its non-specific clinical presentation that mimics different gynecological or non-gynecological pathologies. We present an unusual case of genital TB in an 11-year-old girl with an acute abdomen, where the clinical and radiological findings contributed to the diagnostic confusion with hematometra. This case highlights a rare case of genital TB in a teenage girl, and its clinical and diagnostic complexities, emphasizing the importance of considering TB as a differential in all cases of pelvic masses in high-burden settings. This case also exemplifies the need for a multidisciplinary approach to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent the devastating effects of genital TB on the reproductive health of young girls.
