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 remains the deadliest infectious disease worldwide. Among extrapulmonary forms, peritoneal tuberculosis stands out as a rare and challenging diagnosis, often mistaken for intra-abdominal neoplasms or peritoneal carcinomatosis. The clinical, paraclinical, and imaging findings are similar and sometimes indistinguishable between the two entities, making the diagnosis a challenge for the treating physician. Here, we present the case of a young woman with chronic constitutional symptoms who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and ascites. An initial differential diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis was considered based on findings in the peritoneal fluid and abdominal CT scan, leading to diagnostic laparoscopy. Histopathological examination of the samples revealed non-caseating granulomas involving the peritoneum, with no findings suggestive of malignancy. Subsequently, molecular testing for
