Masked invaders: A case series on uncommon manifestations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Article in Lung India : official organ of Indian Chest Society, 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
abstractExtrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is a challenging clinical entity due to its diverse and often atypical presentations. This case series discusses five rare manifestations of EPTB: tubercular arthritis of the wrist, sternoclavicular joint tuberculosis, mandibular osteomyelitis, epididymo-orchitis with scrotal abscess, and tuberculosis-associated Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. All patients were immunocompetent and did not exhibit typical systemic symptoms. Diagnosis was established through a combination of imaging, histopathology, and molecular testing (CBNAAT/GeneXpert). The cases were successfully managed with anti-tubercular therapy (ATT), resulting in favourable outcomes. This report emphasises the necessity for high clinical suspicion, especially in endemic areas, and highlights EPTB's ability to mimic more common inflammatory or neoplastic conditions.
