Intestinal tuberculosis mimicking Crohn's disease with ascending colon sinus tract: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) complicated by sinus tract is clinically characterized by nonspecific symptoms. This condition necessitates multidisciplinary collaboration, and a multidimensional differential diagnostic approach integrating clinical manifestations, imaging findings, and pathological examination is imperative for confirmation. Case summary: A 26-year-old female presented with a 1-month history of recurrent right lower abdominal pain. She had previously been misdiagnosed with appendicitis and Crohn's disease (CD). Through a comprehensive diagnostic workup including small intestine computed tomography enterography (CTE), purified protein derivative (PPD) test, colonoscopy, and pathological assessment, the patient was diagnosed with ITB complicated by a sinus tract of the ascending colon. Quadruple anti-tuberculosis therapy was initiated. Notably, the fistula achieved complete closure 6 months post-treatment. Conclusion: This case highlights the critical importance of multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment in managing ITB. It provides valuable reference material for the clinical diagnosis of such rare complications, thereby contributing to improved clinical decision-making in similar cases.
