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

The case of a 58-year-old immunocompetent woman with no relevant medical history, presenting with pelvic pain and postmenopausal bleeding, is reported. Imaging studies revealed findings compatible with disseminated endometrial cancer, including pulmonary lesions suspicious for metastasis, for which advanced gynecological cancer was initially presumed; however, endometrial biopsy showed necrotizing granulomas with acid-fast bacilli, confirming endometrial tuberculosis (TB). Likewise, pulmonary TB involvement was evidenced (positive sputum smear), establishing the final diagnosis of disseminated TBsimulating a gynecological cancer. The patient received standard anti-TB treatment for six months, with complete remission of symptoms. A post-treatment follow-up biopsy was negative for TB. This case emphasizes the importance of considering genital TB in the differential diagnosis of gynecological neoplasms, even in immunocompetent postmenopausal patients, especially in TB-endemic regions, to ensure timely diagnosis and management.
