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 is a major public health problem. It is an infectious disease present in every country in the world and can occur at any age, with a higher incidence in developing countries. Among the extra-pulmonary forms, the intestinal form is rare and often misdiagnosed and/or lately at the stage of complications such as occlusion, stricture, perforation, or hemorrhage. Unfortunately, this contributes to the increased mortality and morbidity associated with this benign disease. We report the case of a 78-year-old patient who presented to our department with an acute intestinal obstruction, secondary to an ileal mass. He had undergone bowel resection of the mass and hand sewn end-to-end anastomosis. Histopathological examination of the specimen confirmed intestinal tuberculosis.
