Atypical Orofacial Lupus Vulgaris in a Pediatric Patient: A Report of a Unique Case.
Article in Cureus, 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
Cutaneous tuberculosis represents only a small fraction of extrapulmonary tuberculosis; however, its consequences can be profoundly disfiguring when diagnosis is delayed. Among its clinical forms, lupus vulgaris is the most common morphological variant, but pediatric involvement of the nasal orifice with extension to the upper lip and intraoral mucosa remains distinctly rare. We report a remarkable case of a nine-year-old male patient with a three-year history of a slowly enlarging erythematous, crusted centrofacial plaque involving the nasal alae, columella, upper lip, and upper gingival mucosa, which was diagnostically challenging due to its unusual site. This case underscores how atypical orofacial lupus vulgaris may masquerade as other chronic granulomatous disorders and highlights the importance of early recognition to prevent progressive tissue destruction, cartilaginous damage, and permanent facial deformity.
