Prostatic Tuberculosis Mimicking Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer in a Patient Presenting With Low Ejaculate Volume: A Case Report.

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
Prostatic tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of genitourinary tuberculosis and may closely mimic clinically significant prostate cancer on multiparametric MRI, creating considerable diagnostic uncertainty. We report the case of a 46-year-old Nigerian man undergoing follow-up for latent tuberculosis infection who reported a progressive reduction in ejaculatory volume while attempting conception. He had minimal lower urinary tract symptoms (International Prostate Symptom Score: 1/35), a prostate-specific antigen level of 3.94 µg/L, and a palpable prostatic nodule on digital rectal examination. Multiparametric MRI demonstrated highly suspicious lesions involving both the peripheral and transition zones, together with pelvic lymphadenopathy, raising concern for clinically significant prostate cancer. Histopathological examination revealed extensive granulomatous inflammation with areas of necrosis, while Ziehl-Neelsen and fungal stains were negative. PCR testing performed on the biopsy tissue subsequently confirmed
