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
Introduction: Cervical Pott's disease is a very rare localization of bone tuberculosis. Its association with cercico-thoracic cold abscesses is also exceptional. Observation: A 36-year-old black African patient of Burkinabè origin, with a history of tuberculosis infection (his mother had pulmonary tuberculosis) and no other pathological history, presented with chronic inflammatory cervicalgia that had been developing for six months in a non-febrile context of altered general condition. Examination showed a left latero-cervical swelling associated with a left basithoracic swelling, both fluctuant. Pleuropulmonary and neurological examinations were normal. HIV serology and tuberculin skin test were negative. Cervico-thoracic computed tomography revealed multiple abscesses. The abscesses were incised and drained. Analysis of the specimen showed the presence of acid-fast bacilli by direct examination and Conclusion: Cold cervical abscess complicating Pott's disease is exceptional. Imaging and the geneXpert assay are now rapid and effective diagnostic tools for tuberculosis. This particular form should always be suspected in endemic areas.
