Latent Reactivation of Osteoarticular Tuberculosis of the Knee.
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
Osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon manifestation of extrapulmonary TB (EPTB), accounting for approximately 10-15% of such cases. Amongst these, knee involvement is particularly rare, representing only 0.1-0.3% of all TB infections. Due to its rarity and indolent presentation, tuberculous arthritis of the knee can be misdiagnosed as pyogenic septic arthritis or degenerative joint disease. We report the case of a 43-year-old Indian woman, who has been a resident in the United Kingdom for eight years, who presented with a two-week history of progressive swelling of the left knee that spontaneously discharged thick, caseous material. She had sustained a minor fall onto the same knee five months earlier but had no systemic symptoms or prior history of TB. Imaging demonstrated chronic inflammatory changes, and intraoperative samples from sinus excision and joint washout tested positive for
