Long-standing, multifocal Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis: Undiagnosed for 40 years.
Article in IDCases, 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: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease primarily affecting the lungs, with extrapulmonary TB comprising 20% of cases. Among these, cutaneous TB (CTB) accounts for 1-2%, often overlooked due to its rarity and varied presentations. This report highlights an unusual case of Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TVC). Case presentation: A 60-year-old male, presented with non-healing skin lesion that remained undiagnosed for 40 years. The lesion, which involved multiple areas of the body, exhibited large annular plaques with indurated edges and atrophic scars. Diagnosis was made through a detailed clinical history and examination, confirmed by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), which revealed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. The patient responded well to anti-TB treatment, showing significant improvement within two months. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of clinical suspicion in diagnosing CTB, particularly in endemic regions, and suggests that FNAC is a valuable diagnostic tool in resource-limited settings.
