Disseminated Tuberculosis Complicated by Pulmonary Thromboembolism.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Tuberculosis (TB) is a multisystem infectious disease with both pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. TB can also induce a hypercoagulable state, setting off a cascade of changes in the body, including systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and abnormalities in the coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways. Collectively, these factors significantly increase the risk of venous thromboembolism, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. These complications can worsen the overall disease course and complicate TB management. We report the case of a 27-year-old man presenting with high-grade fever, abdominal pain, and significant weight loss. Imaging suggested tuberculous peritonitis, and computed tomography pulmonary angiography revealed pulmonary thromboembolism, a rare but serious TB-associated complication. Omental biopsy confirmed TB based on histopathology and GeneXpert. Despite the initiation of anti-tubercular therapy and anticoagulation, the patient developed osteomyelitis of the right iliac bone with an intramuscular abscess, which tested positive for
