The Overlap Between Crohn's Disease and Intestinal Tuberculosis: A Never-Ending Story.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 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
The prevalence of Crohn's disease has increased over the last few decades, even in developing countries, whereas that of intestinal tuberculosis has decreased, which places both diseases at an epidemiological crossroads. Crohn's disease and intestinal tuberculosis share many clinical, endoscopic, imaging, and pathological features, which sometimes make differential diagnosis very difficult; an accurate diagnosis is, however, very important since an erroneous treatment can worsen the evolution or delay proper therapy. The association between past TB infection and Crohn's disease can make the diagnosis especially hard. This review summarizes current data on specific features that allow differentiation between Crohn's disease and intestinal tuberculosis, paying particular attention to the microbiome, clinical signs, endoscopy, cross-sectional imaging, bacteriological, and immunological findings detailed. The importance of computerized models and scores for the differentiation is also detailed, because common features may make the differentiation based on a single criterion difficult.
