Esophageal tuberculosis presenting as progressive dysphagia in a 30-year-old female from rural Gondar, Ethiopia.

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
Esophageal tuberculosis (TB) is an exceptionally rare manifestation of extra-pulmonary TB, often presenting diagnostic challenges due to its nonspecific symptoms and similarity to malignancies. We report the case of a 30-year-old female from rural Gondar, Ethiopia, who presented with progressive dysphagia and significant weight loss. Diagnosis was confirmed through endoscopic biopsy, revealing tuberculous esophageal ulcer. Our case underscores the importance of considering TB in the differential diagnosis of esophageal ulcers, particularly in TB-endemic regions. In addition, we compare this case with the existing literature, which highlights the varied clinical presentations and diagnostic challenges of esophageal TB.
