Abdominal tuberculosis presenting as a massive lower GI bleed in a cerebral palsy patient-a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Abdominal tuberculosis is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis (TB), one that is increasingly encountered at hospitals serving a growing immigrant population. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of TB has continually increased. The diagnostic differential often overlaps with inflammatory bowel disease, with diagnostic laparoscopy remaining the most effective modality of diagnosis. Additional diagnostic difficulties are encountered in patients unable to report symptoms. We present the case of a 52-year-old woman with cerebral palsy who presented initially with pulmonary symptoms and later developed massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Conservative management was attempted with angioembolization of a bleeding cecal mass on computed tomography. The patient initially improved and then decompensated after several hours. The patient then underwent emergent exploratory laparotomy for resection of a bleeding ileocecal mass which was found to be abdominal tuberculosis on pathology.
