Bilateral intraocular masses in a child as a first presentation of disseminated tuberculosis: case report.
Article in Therapeutic advances in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An 8-year-old girl presented with left leukocoria, prompting an evaluation that revealed bilateral intraocular masses, including a right upper nasal choroidal lesion and a large left heterogeneous mass with exudative detachment. Imaging and systemic assessment uncovered multiple intracranial lesions, miliary lung lesion, a facial lesion, and a right tibial lesion. A strongly positive tuberculin test and a history of close contact with a tuberculosis (TB) patient led to the diagnosis of disseminated TB. Treatment with anti-tuberculosis therapy and systemic steroids initially resulted in improvement, including regression of the ocular tuberculomas and enhanced visual acuity. However, the patient developed severe headache due to non-communicating obstructive hydrocephalus, necessitating surgical intervention. Despite intensive care, the patient ultimately succumbed to the condition. This case highlights that ocular TB lesions can mimic intraocular tumors and underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation, including multimodal imaging and systemic work-up, for early diagnosis and management of disseminated TB.
