Multifocal tuberculosis with cerebral, spinal, pulmonary and abdominal involvement in a 16-year-old girl: A radiological case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Multifocal tuberculosis involving the central nervous system and systemic organs is uncommon but well documented, particularly in endemic regions and in the setting of incomplete treatment. We report the case of a 16-year-old girl with prior pulmonary tuberculosis and poor therapeutic adherence who presented with progressive paraparesis over 3 weeks. Brain Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple supratentorial enhancing lesions consistent with solid granulomatous tuberculomas, without significant surrounding edema. Associated leptomeningeal and pachymeningeal enhancement was also observed. Spinal Magnetic resonance imaging revealed longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis extending from T3 to the conus medullaris with intramedullary T2 hyperintensity. In addition, a lumbar posterior epidural collection (from L2 to L4) causing thecal sac compression was identified. Chest CT showed a tree-in-bud pattern consistent with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Abdominal CT demonstrated enlarged abdominal lymph nodes with central low attenuation and a perihepatic collection. Tuberculosis was confirmed by positive cerebrospinal fluid Polymerase chain reaction for
