Comparison of Lung Ultrasound Findings in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Lobar Pneumonia: A Case-control Study.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. 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
Background: The utility of lung ultrasound (LUS) in diagnosing respiratory disorders is being studied only in recent times. We aimed to describe the ultrasound (USG) features of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and compare them with those of lobar pneumonia. In addition, the LUS findings of both diseases were corroborated with chest X-ray findings. Methods: The study subjects consisted of adult subjects recently diagnosed with pulmonary TB and those diagnosed with lobar pneumonia. Both subsets of patients underwent LUS evaluation. Results: Ninety-six subjects with 64 microbiologically confirmed TB and 32 lobar pneumonia patients were included. The study subjects' mean age was 46.78 ± 15.75 years and the majority were males ( Conclusion: LUS is a valuable tool to detect TB and lobar pneumonia and can discriminate between the two conditions. LUS performance was on par with CXR in the detection of abnormalities. The lack of radiation exposure and portability of LUS makes it an attractive tool for bedside use as well as in field conditions where radiography may not be readily available.
