Complexities in pediatric tuberculosis: a case of advanced disease complicated by deep vein thrombosis and enterocutaneous fistula from Ethiopia.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 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
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading global infectious disease, causing nearly 4,000 deaths daily, particularly affecting children under five. This case illustrates the complexities of diagnosing and treating advanced tuberculosis complications in a 6-year-old child who presented with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), an enterocutaneous fistula, and malnourishment. Causality was called into question by the connection between these conditions. Antibiotics, anticoagulants, antituberculosis drugs, fresh frozen plasma, stoma bag wound care, and nutritional support were all part of the patient’s treatment. She was discharged from the hospital with improvement after 15 days. The complex relationships among venous thromboembolism, malnourishment, and chronic infection are highlighted in this instance, underscoring the necessity of timely and thorough management of advanced TB to address the nutritional and infectious components of the patient’s condition.
