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

Primary mucosal tuberculosis is an exceptionally rare extrapulmonary manifestation, representing a diagnostic challenge due to its marked anatomo-clinical polymorphism and paucity of systemic signs. We report a 62-year-old immunocompetent woman with multifocal mucosal facial plaques showing a fluctuating course. Dermoscopy demonstrated a lupoid pattern. Radiologic evaluation revealed sinonasal extension with osseous lysis. Histopathology confirmed confluent Koester follicles with central caseous necrosis. Systemic evaluation showed no pulmonary or visceral involvement, with only a positive tuberculin skin test supporting prior sensitization. Prompt recognition enabled timely antituberculous therapy, preventing further structural and functional sequelae.
