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

Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) is a severe extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in children. While tuberculous meningitis remains the predominant form, focal parenchymal lesions such as tuberculomas and abscesses are less common. Cerebellar tuberculomas represent an exceptionally rare localization and may mimic posterior fossa tumors, leading to diagnostic delay. This article provides an updated review of CNS tuberculosis with special emphasis on pediatric epidemiology and cerebellar involvement, and presents a clinical case of surgically treated cerebellar tuberculoma. This clinical case demonstrates the difficulties in differential diagnosis of cerebellar tuberculosis from a tumor in this location.
