1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Isolated inguinal tuberculous lymphadenitis (TL) with no other pulmonary or extrapulmonary involvement is rare. A 74-year-old male patient presented with inguinal lymph node swelling at a primary care clinic. On palpation, the lymph node was polymorphic and soft in consistency, and ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic node with the absence of the hilum and an intra-nodal strong echo. Referring to a tertiary care hospital, a computed tomography scan revealed multinodular inguinal lymph node without any active inflammatory lesions in the lung. The T-SPOT.TB assay was positive. An excisional biopsy of the lymph node revealed caseous necrosis on histopathological examination, and the patient was diagnosed with TL. Isolated inguinal lymphadenopathy, even in the absence of pulmonary involvement, necessitates consideration of TL in the diagnostic process.
