Ovarian Tuberculosis Mimicking Ovarian Malignancy: A Diagnostic Challenge in an Endemic Setting.

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
Ovarian tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and may closely resemble advanced ovarian carcinoma due to overlapping clinical, biochemical, and radiological features. We report the case of an 18-year-old female who presented with progressive abdominal distension, severe hypogastric pain, and unintentional weight loss. Imaging revealed a left adnexal mass with ascites and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy suggestive of stage IIIC ovarian carcinoma. Serum CA-125 was markedly elevated (637.4 U/mL). Prior to initiation of chemotherapy, an image-guided TRUCUT biopsy demonstrated chronic granulomatous inflammation with acid-fast bacilli. Ziehl-Neelsen staining was positive, QuantiFERON-TB Gold assay was positive, and culture of the adnexal lesion confirmed
