Extra-axial tuberculoma mimicking brain tumor on MRI: A rare case in an immunocompetent adult.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Mass-like extra-axial tuberculoma is rare and can be a diagnostic challenge because it mimics a brain tumor on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This highlights the critical need for thorough and detailed imaging analysis to differentiate between these conditions accurately. We report a rare case of an extra-axial tuberculoma in a 26-year-old immunocompetent male presenting with worsening headaches. Neuroimaging showed an extra-axial mass in the right temporal region, exhibiting features suggestive of a neoplastic process. After surgical removal and histopathological analysis, the lesion was confirmed to be a tuberculoma. This case emphasizes the importance of considering extra-axial tuberculoma in the differential diagnosis of extra-axial masses in endemic regions. Early detection and proper treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes. Increased awareness among clinicians and radiologists is necessary to ensure timely intervention and prevent misdiagnosis.
