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
Introduction: Due to its rarity and severity, tuberculous polyseritis is a diagnostic challenge that can lead to serious complications. Portal vein thrombosis is an uncommon complication that is often overlooked. This case report illustrates this association in an immunocompetent patient. Observation: A 31-year-old male gold miner with a history of tuberculosis infection was admitted with dyspnea, chest pain, a productive cough, and signs of tuberculosis impregnation that had developed over the course of two months. Physical examination revealed massive left pleurisy, moderate ascites, and pericardial effusion in the pre-tamponade stage. An abdominal ultrasound revealed partial thrombosis of the portal vein. Laboratory tests showed inflammatory anemia, leukopenia, and exudative effusions. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis as a possible cause of venous thrombosis, even in immunocompetent individuals. Early diagnosis and appropriate management improve the prognosis.
