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

Cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) is a rare manifestation of extrapulmonary TB, accounting for only 1-1.5% of cases. Among its various forms, cutaneous miliary TB is exceptionally uncommon and often presents with nonspecific clinical features. This makes early diagnosis challenging, especially in individuals who are immunocompromised. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with a 6-month history of multiple painful, nonhealing ulcers over the mons pubis, perivulvar area and left upper arm. Despite multiple courses of antibiotics, there was no improvement. Clinical examination revealed multiple well-defined ulcers with yellowish discharge. The patient had no history of bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination. Tissue GeneXpert analysis from the ulcer confirmed
