Application of confocal microscopy for detecting tuberculous lymphadenitis.
Article in The Indian journal of medical research, 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
Tuberculous lymphadenitis, a form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, is diagnosed through the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in tissue samples. Lymphadenitis may be caused by both nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Here, we highlight the advantage of using a fluorescent dye in combination with Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) for identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis in histological sections of lymph node tissue after correlating with Clinical, histopathological, and microbiological findings. CLSM enables the differentiation of non-specific fluorescence from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis fluorescence through the spectral emission method. This method proved effective even in lymph node tissue samples exhibiting weak staining using the Ziehl-Neelsen method. Overall, the integration of fluorescent dye with CLSM visualisation substantially improves bacillary visualisation, facilitates faster processing, and reduces observer fatigue due to the black background.
