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

Hepatic tuberculosis (HTB) is rare extrapulmonary tuberculosis that is clinically similar to liver malignancy, making it difficult for correct diagnoses. Pathology is the gold standard for tuberculosis diagnosis. However, there are few reports on the pathological features of HTB. A total of 32 HTB cases were considered and the differences in pathological features and drug resistance were analyzed and compared with those for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Enhanced CT scans showed ring-shaped delayed enhancement during the arterial, venous, and delayed phases. Most HTB cases were single lesions, with the highest incidence in the right lobe, and the average lesion volume was smaller than that of PTB. The frequency of granuloma in pathological changes, the overall share of the lesion area in the HTB group, and the number of foxp3
