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
Objective: Genitourinary Tuberculosis (GU-TB) is one of the most common types of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. This study aims to evaluate changes in renal function in patients diagnosed with GU-TB at our clinic after a 12-month follow-up. Materials and Methods: Patients aged 18 to 70 years treated between 2015 and 2021 were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were a prior history of GU-TB, other etiological factors affecting renal function, ureter-kidney involvement, and incomplete follow-up or treatment. Demographic and clinical data, the need for urinary diversion, types of diversions performed, most common symptoms, and renal functions at diagnosis, the 3 Results: A total of 34 patients were included in the study. The most common symptom was urgency (70%). Urinary diversion was necessary for 22 patients (64.7%). Kidney function evaluation revealed that the glomerular filtration rate, initially 53.9±24.8, increased to 63.5±19.1 after treatment (p<0.001). Conclusion: In patients with GU-TB involving the kidneys and ureters, appropriate diversion methods and treatment may lead to some improvement in renal function. However, it should be noted that patients with GU-TB constitute an extremely heterogeneous group, and symptoms and clinical findings may vary depending on the selected patient group.
