Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis Manifesting as Liver Abscess.
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
Liver abscess is a rare presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. It may present with nonspecific symptoms such as fever, weight loss and abdominal pain and requires a high degree of suspicion. We present a case of a 57-year-old male previously treated for a liver abscess and presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and fever and a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) showed a loculated liver abscess. Ultrasound-guided aspiration of the pus was sent for GeneXpert MTB (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and mycobacterial culture which confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was started on anti-tubercular therapy and clinically improved.
