Primary adrenal insufficiency and systemic tuberculosis in a 10-year-old boy: case report.
Article in Revista peruana de medicina experimental y salud publica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Primary adrenal insufficiency is the result of impaired steroid synthesis, adrenal destruction or abnormal development of the adrenal gland affecting the adrenal cortex. Tuberculosis is one of the main causes in developing countries. We present the case of a 10-year-old male patient diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency two years earlier with regular treatment, who was admitted for adrenal crisis. A thoraco-abdominal tomography was carried out during hospitalization, which showed cylindrical and traction bronchiectasis associated with cicatricial atelectasis in the right upper pulmonary lobe, enlarged adrenal glands with foci of calcification, as well as a dense posterior perivertebral mediastinal collection also involving vertebral bodies with lytic resorptive foci, findings consistent with systemic tuberculosis. Treatment for tuberculosis started based on this diagnosis. During course of the disease, the first phase was completed with four drugs, and the second phase included isoniazid and rifampicin with favorable clinical response.
