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

Multiple cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) combined with pulmonary TB are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Nasopharyngeal TB is often ignored because of its hidden location and nonspecific manifestations. A correlation between cervical lymph node and nasopharyngeal TB has been observed; however, reports of cervical lymph node TB complicated with nasopharyngeal TB are rare, potentially leading to missed diagnosis. Herein, we present a case of nasopharyngeal TB combined with cervical lymph node and pulmonary TB. Radiographic findings consistently suggested TB, although multiple smear tests' results were negative. After 3 months of diagnostic anti-TB treatment, the nasopharyngeal TB completely disappeared, and the swollen cervical lymph nodes subsided after 1 year of treatment. This case report deepens our understanding of nasopharyngeal TB and emphasizes the need for nasal endoscopy in patients with cervical lymph node TB.
