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

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a leading cause of death in many countries, and also remains a significant concern in Germany, particularly due to migration. The diagnosis of rare cutaneous tuberculosis is challenging as it manifests in various clinical forms that resemble more common dermatological conditions. Especially in paucibacillary forms, gold-standard diagnostic tests may yield negative results, complicating the identification of the disease. Therefore, a strong clinical suspicion based on the clinical presentation is essential for guiding further or repeated diagnostic evaluations. In this article, we present various forms of cutaneous tuberculosis, using excerpts from the image collection of the Department of Dermatology and Allergy at Biederstein, Technical University of Munich, to improve clinical recognition of cutaneous TB and raise awareness of this condition also as a potential differential diagnosis.
