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 of the foot is an uncommon form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and tuberculosis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint is extremely rare. We report the case of a healthy 31-year-old woman from the Philippines with a three-year history of swelling and pain in her left first MTP joint. Foot imaging revealed severe bone destruction and granulation tissue formation at the first MTP joint. Chest imaging showed no pulmonary involvement.
