Palatal Tuberculosis: A Rare Manifestation of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis.
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.

The authors describe a case of a 63-year-old Afghan woman with multiple comorbidities, including poorly controlled diabetes mellitus with end-organ damage and heart failure, who presented with a painless ulcerated lesion on the hard palate with erythematous borders and fibrin coverage. Laboratory evaluation revealed a positive interferon-gamma release assay, and a computed tomography showed oropharyngeal tissue densification and calcified pulmonary micronodules. Despite bacilloscopy being negative, sputum culture was positive for
