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

We report a case of severe post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) in a 60-year-old Ugandan man with a six-year history of suboptimally treated pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), who presented with a three-week history of productive cough, yellow foul-smelling sputum occasionally streaked with blood, dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, fatigue and progressive exercise intolerance. Imaging revealed extensive structural lung damage characterized by bronchiectasis, multiple bullae, and fibrotic changes, more pronounced in the left lung. Laboratory evaluation showed leukocytosis with neutrophilic predominance, and sputum culture grew
