Cutaneous tuberculosis and its pleomorphic presentations in human immunodeficiency virus-negative patients: a case report.

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
backgroundCutaneous tuberculosis is reported to be rare, especially in human immunodeficiency virus-negative patients but probably also underdiagnosed. This is because it presents with pictorial and anatomoclinical polymorphism. In Africa, despite tuberculosis being endemic, isolating the germ and/or obtaining histopathological confirmation constitutes a significant challenge. Literature on the clinical presentations and outcomes of patients with cutaneous tuberculosis is sparse in Cameroon and sub-Saharan Africa. This prompted us to report on the cases of cutaneous tuberculosis we encountered. CASE PRESENTATION: We report ten cases of cutaneous tuberculosis diagnosed in human immunodeficiency virus-negative patients from 2018 to 2022 in Cameroon. All cases included were confirmed by histology and/or laboratory test. The average age of our patients was 35.7 ± 20.3 years, with age ranges between 8 and 72 years. The sex ratio (M/F) was 1.5. The clinical forms identified were scrofuloderma (three cases), papulonecrotic tuberculid (two cases), and tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (two cases). Tubercular gumma, lupus vulgaris, and disseminated tuberculosis accounted for one case each. Under antituberculosis drugs, the clinical progress was favorable for all cases.
conclusionCutaneous tuberculosis can present in various forms. Though rare in our setting, physicians should consider this diagnosis when faced with any chronic skin lesion that does not respond to conventional treatment.
