Tuberculous Peripancreatic Lymphadenitis Presenting as Obstructive Jaundice Due to Extrinsic Common Bile Duct Compression: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report the case of a 29-year-old male from the Indian subcontinent (a tuberculosis (TB)-endemic region) residing in Qatar, who presented with a three-day history of epigastric pain, dark urine, and pale stools. He had no known TB exposure, was HIV-negative, and had received the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin or BCG vaccination in childhood. Physical examination revealed scleral icterus without peripheral lymphadenopathy. Initial imaging showed a dilated common bile duct (CBD) (10 mm) and an overdistended gallbladder with sludge. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated conglomerated necrotic lymphadenopathy in the portacaval and precaval regions (the largest measuring 44 × 25 mm), causing smooth extrinsic compression of the distal CBD. Contrast-enhanced CT confirmed central necrosis with peripheral rim enhancement, favoring a tuberculous etiology over a malignant one. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy of the peripancreatic lymph nodes revealed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis. Ziehl-Neelsen staining for acid-fast bacilli was negative, which can occur in paucibacillary TB. Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra assay detected
