An unusual triad: tuberculomas, tubercular meningitis, and hydrosyringomyelia in a child from a suburban region.

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
Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis is a rare but serious manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, especially in the paediatric population. We report a rare case of an eight year old male child from a suburban region presenting with intracranial tuberculomas, tubercular meningitis, and spinal hydrosyringomyelia (HSM). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed multiple brain tuberculomas, basal exudates, abnormal meningeal enhancement, spinal HSM with features of arachnoiditis. The patient was operated for removal of tuberculomas and placement of ventriculo-peritoneal (V-P) shunt and responded well to antitubercular therapy and corticosteroids.Tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis in children presenting with unexplained neurological symptoms in endemic regions. Early neuroimaging is critical in avoiding morbidity and permanent neurological damage.
