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

This case emphasizes the importance of considering tuberculosis (TB) in the differential diagnosis of complex kidney imaging findings. We report a case of a 43-year-old male patient from India who presented with a five-day history of fever and vomiting. Laboratory results revealed metabolic acidosis, anemia, acute kidney injury, and elevated inflammatory markers. A computed tomography urogram demonstrated significant findings: minimal parenchymal remnants in the left kidney replaced by caliectasis, ureteral pyelitis, and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, including calcified nodes in the right kidney. The diagnosis of genitourinary TB was made after bronchoalveolar lavage and urine samples confirmed the presence of
