Computed tomography in the diagnosis of bilateral renal tuberculosis: diagnostic value, limitations, and future directions.
Review in Frontiers in medical technology, 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
As equipment improves and technology advances, the application of Computed Tomography (CT) in clinical disease diagnosis has become increasingly widespread, particularly demonstrating significant advantages in diagnosing solid lesions. However, CT scans still face challenges, including insufficient sensitivity and an inability to assess renal function when diagnosing bilateral renal tuberculosis (BRTB). By reviewing relevant high-quality literature, we compared the sensitivity, specificity, advantages, and limitations of USG, KUB, IVU, MRI, PET-CT, and CT in the diagnosis of BRTB. CT offers higher clinical detection rates and reduces the economic burden on patients compared to other imaging methods, making it the preferred modality for imaging in patients with BRTB. AI-assisted diagnosis and the integration of CT with PET may represent promising future directions for CT imaging.
