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

Renal tuberculosis (TB), an underrecognized form of extrapulmonary TB, often presents with nonspecific symptoms and challenging diagnosis and, therefore, it is difficult to diagnose. The subtle clinical manifestations and the absence of typical pulmonary signs frequently delay recognition and treatment. A 66-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a cortical cyst in the left kidney presented to the emergency room with fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, and intermittent fever. Image exams revealed a large left renal cystic lesion initially suggestive of a cystic nephroma, which is a benign lesion. Ultrasound-guided aspiration and drainage of the lesion, followed by microbiological evaluation, identified co-infection with
