A Rare Manifestation of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis: Tenosynovitis of Wrist and Multiple Fingers.

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
Tuberculous tenosynovitis is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis and often presents with nonspecific symptoms that mimic more common inflammatory or degenerative conditions. We report a unique case from Eastern Morocco involving a 39-year-old male with a two-year history of progressive swelling and limited flexion of the wrist and the second, third, and fifth fingers. Imaging revealed tenosynovitis of the flexor tendons, and histopathological examination confirmed tuberculosis through the presence of granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis. The patient underwent a surgical synovectomy followed by a six-month course of anti-tuberculosis therapy, resulting in significant clinical improvement and restored joint mobility. This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of chronic tenosynovitis, particularly in endemic regions. It highlights the role of early histopathological confirmation and combined medical-surgical management in achieving favorable outcomes.
