A Diagnostic Puzzle: Unveiling Tuberculosis Peritonitis in an Immunocompromised Patient.
Article in Cureus, 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
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of infectious morbidity and mortality worldwide. Extrapulmonary TB, particularly abdominal TB, is a diagnostic challenge due to its nonspecific presentation and often low sensitivity for conventional tests. Immunocompromised patients, such as those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), are at increased risk and may lack classic systemic symptoms, preventing timely diagnosis. A 61-year-old HIV-positive female on antiretroviral therapy and with an undetectable viral load presented with progressive abdominal distension, postprandial fullness, and altered bowel habits over two months. Physical examination revealed ascites and a right supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. Laboratory findings showed normocytic anemia, thrombocytosis, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated inflammatory markers. Computed tomography demonstrated large-volume ascites, bilateral pleural effusions, and signs of chronic liver disease. Ascitic fluid analysis revealed lymphocyte predominance with elevated adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels but was negative for
