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

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major burden of disease worldwide, especially in Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Cutaneous forms of TB account for approximately 10 % of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases, with oral manifestations accounting for less than 1 % of these cases. A high index of suspicion is essential when diagnosing rare clinical presentations. The response to treatment is excellent in most patients, particularly those receiving concomitant, effective antiretroviral (ARV) treatment. Patient presentation: We report two cases of lupus vulgaris in AIDS patients (CD4 count of 113 cells/mm Management: We demonstrate the importance of multidisciplinary care for patients and an excellent response to anti-TB treatment once diagnosed. We also emphasize the importance of concomitant ARV treatment and patient follow-up. Conclusion: The outcomes of two of the three patients were good, highlighting the importance of timely clinical diagnosis and treatment, including monitoring and follow-up, while ensuring continued ARV treatment.
