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

Scrofuloderma is most common presentation of cutaneous tuberculosis in India. A 15-years-old immunocompetent male presented with bilateral cervical necrotising lesions and was treated with ATTx9 months, without improvement. Patient was diagnosed with scrofuloderma and ZN staining revealed 2+acid-fast bacilli. Cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test showed rifampicin resistance. Patient was initiated on shorter regimen, but deferred treatment owing to technical portal problems. After 3 months, neck swelling had enlarged and he was started on multi-drug regimen x24 months. This underlines requisite to consider scrofuloderma in differentials of bilateral cervical lesions and to periodically monitor compliance to prevent subsequent emergence of resistance.
