Infertility Caused by Pelvic Tuberculosis: A Forgotten and Rare Diagnosis.

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
Introduction: Active tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Case Presentation: We describe two cases of pelvic TB identified during infertility workups focused on fallopian tube involvement. Both cases were managed with a combination of surgical and medical therapies. Discussion: Female genital TB typically presents with infertility, abdominal pain, or menstrual disturbances. Imaging studies often reveal nonspecific findings. Laparoscopic surgery can provide more definitive diagnostic information. A biopsy is useful for confirming the diagnosis of TB more accurately and rapidly. Treatment of genital TB requires a four-drug regimen due to the high recurrence rate and the prevalence of drug-resistant strains. In cases of large abscesses or fallopian tube obstruction, surgical intervention may be necessary. Conclusion: Given the increasing trends in immigration from TB-endemic areas and the established relationship between pelvic TB and infertility, it is advisable to consider TB as a potential cause of infertility in women from these regions.
