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

Intestinal tuberculosis accounts for 1%-3% of all tuberculosis cases worldwide and typically arises as a secondary manifestation of hematogenous spread rather than as a primary site of infection. The condition is characterized by an insidious onset, with patients often presenting late in the disease course with non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms. At advanced stages, clinical features may include signs of bowel obstruction or perforation, closely mimicking other conditions such as colorectal malignancy, colitis, or inflammatory bowel disease, posing a significant diagnostic challenge. We report a rare case of isolated intestinal tuberculosis presenting as a partial large bowel obstruction. The patient successfully underwent a right hemicolectomy followed by anti-tuberculosis pharmacotherapy, resulting in complete restoration of normal bowel function and eradication of tuberculosis.
