Proximal tibial tuberculous osteomyelitis with secondary knee joint arthritis: A case report.
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
Tuberculous osteomyelitis is an uncommon form of musculoskeletal tuberculosis and most frequently involves long bones such as the femur and tibia. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman presenting with a one-year history of progressive pain and swelling of the left knee. Imaging revealed a well-defined lytic cavitary lesion in the metaphyseal-epiphyseal region of the proximal tibia with cortical breach, intra-articular extension, and direct communication with a pre-tibial soft-tissue abscess. Surgical management included debridement and curettage of the intramedullary cavity, drainage of the pre-tibial collection, PMMA cement filling, and a knee joint washout. Histopathological analysis demonstrated epithelioid granulomas with Langhans-type giant cells and caseous necrosis, and PCR confirmed
