Tonsillar Tuberculosis Simulating Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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 is still considered a cause of death, especially in developing countries. Primary tonsillar tuberculosis in the absence of pulmonary tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient is a rare entity. Its diagnosis is difficult because it simulates tonsillar cancer, and histopathological examination is often needed for confirmation. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with no history of tuberculosis and a normal lung CT. The lack of response to the initial treatment suggested either tumor pathology or germ-specific tonsillitis. The diagnosis of tonsillar tuberculosis was established based on the histological aspects provided by the tonsil biopsy and the QuantiFERON-TB test.
