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

Tuberculous pericarditis (TBP) is an uncommon but serious manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, accounting for approximately 1-2% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) cases. Its diagnosis remains challenging because of the paucibacillary nature of the infection and the limited sensitivity of conventional diagnostic methods. Patients suspected of having tuberculous pericarditis between 2022 and 2024 were analyzed in this prospective case series. Various diagnostic tests were performed in suspected cases of tuberculous pericarditis, and the Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) detected
