Unveiling a Dermatological Mystery: A Rare Case of Miliary Cutaneous Tuberculosis in an Adult Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to pose a significant global health challenge, with Mycobacterium (M.) tuberculosis being the primary pathogen. Cutaneous tuberculosis, particularly in its miliary form, is a rare manifestation, accounting for a small proportion of extrapulmonary cases. We report the case of a 71-year-old male from Chihuahua, Mexico, with a history of smoking, diabetes, and hypertension, who presented with a disseminated polymorphic dermatosis. Histopathological examination revealed granulomas containing Langhans giant cells and acid-fast bacilli, with confirmation of M. tuberculosis through PCR and staining. The patient, in a compromised general condition, was diagnosed with miliary cutaneous tuberculosis and initiated on appropriate therapy. This case emphasizes the rarity of miliary cutaneous TB and highlights the importance of prompt and accurate diagnosis and management, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
