Unusual association of primary parotid and conjunctival tuberculosis in a young immunocompetent patient: a case report.
Article in Access microbiology, 2025. 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
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis often presents as lymphadenitis. In the head and neck area, tuberculous involvement of the parotid gland is rare and challenging to diagnose due to non-specific symptoms, which can be confused with a tumour. Tuberculous conjunctivitis, although uncommon, should be considered in cases of chronic, treatment-resistant conjunctivitis. The association of primary parotid and conjunctival tuberculosis is exceptional. They are difficult to diagnose due to the non-specificity of their clinical, biological and radiological signs. We report the case of a 24-year-old immunocompetent patient with no history of tuberculosis, who presented with intermittent swelling of the left parotid gland, accompanied by unilateral redness of the eye, which appeared 2 months later, in a context of fever and night sweats. The patient also reported a foreign body sensation in his eye, mild tearing and photophobia. Clinical examination revealed painful, warm swelling of the left parotid gland, as well as localized granulomatous conjunctivitis. Cervico-parotid CT and MRI revealed two well-limited, oval, left parotid formations with a slightly thickened and enhanced wall after injection of gadolinium, suggestive
