Cutaneous tuberculosis with features suggestive of scrofuloderma masquerading as hidradenitis suppurativa: a case report.
Article in Therapeutic advances in infectious disease. 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
Scrofuloderma is a form of cutaneous tuberculosis that results from the spread of infection from an underlying focus, most commonly lymph nodes or bone, to the overlying skin. It shares overlapping features with various other cutaneous diseases, such as hidradenitis suppurativa. We report a 47-year-old woman presenting with a 4-year history of anterior chest swelling and a 2-year history of a right axillary mass that had ruptured spontaneously. The patient had undergone multiple incisions and drainage procedures and received several courses of antibiotics with limited success. Diagnostic investigations including imaging, biopsy, and ultrasound-guided cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test supported a diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis with features suggestive of scrofuloderma involving the right axilla. The patient was subsequently initiated on antitubercular therapy. Cutaneous tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic or recurrent atypical cutaneous lesions in regions with a high burden of tuberculosis.
