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

An 88-year-old female patient presented with a persistent ulcer in the right flank region following incision and drainage of an abscess. After the relevant examinations and debridement procedures, a deep internal sinus tract approximately 2-3 cm in length was discovered, extending to the lateral border of the external intercostal muscles. Based on local histopathological examination including the tuberculosis PCR, the condition was diagnosed as a cutaneous tuberculous sinus tract caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Cutaneous tuberculosis is a relatively uncommon form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, primarily affecting the skin and subcutaneous soft tissues. The patient has recovered well following an anticipated nine-month course of triple anti-tuberculosis therapy without pyrazinamide. To date, no literature reports have documented persistent deep skin fistulas resulting from this disease.
