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

Female genital tuberculosis is a rare and often asymptomatic condition, which makes its diagnosis challenging. Early recognition of uncommon clinical presentation of tuberculosis is crucial for the better management of it. We report herein a case of genital tuberculosis that initially presented as pyometra and subsequently progressed to miliary tuberculosis. An 86-year-old woman with a history of immunosuppressive therapy for bullous pemphigoid presented with fever and septic shock and was diagnosed with pyelonephritis. Computed tomography (CT) incidentally revealed pyometra, from which
