Clinical and Epidemiological Profile and Treatment Outcomes of Tuberculous Cervical Lymphadenitis: A Hospital-Based Observational Study.
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.

Abstract
backgroundTuberculosis (TB) continues to be the biggest health problem in developing countries with enormous social and economic implications. The commonest form of extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) is tubercular cervical lymphadenitis, or scrofula. The diagnosis and management of TB lymphadenitis is challenging, given the multiple differentials. Also, relapse and persistence of lymph nodes (LNs) despite treatment result in significant morbidity. METHODOLOGY: A hospital-based descriptive study was conducted among 35 newly diagnosed cervical tubercular lymphadenitis patients who were initiated on anti-tuberculous treatment (ATT). Patients were followed up till treatment completion and six months post-treatment to rule out relapse. Results: The most common clinical presentation was painless neck swelling. The most common comorbidities noted were hypertension (
