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

Tuberculosis has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Intramedullary tuberculomas are a rare form of central nervous system tuberculosis, accounting for only 0.2%-0.5% of all CNS tuberculomas. We report the case of a 28-year-old man with a history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated in 2014 who developed areflexic paraparesis with pyramidal signs and fecal incontinence shortly after initiating RIPE therapy for disseminated extrapulmonary tuberculosis. An MRI showed a nodular, intramedullary lesion, T10-T11 measuring approximately 1.2 × 0.8 × 0.7 cm, with intermediate signal on T2 and isosignal on T1, with complete peripheral and annular gadolinium uptake. A narrative review was performed using the keywords "intramedullary," "spinal cord," and "tuberculoma" in October 2024 including 120 articles; 26 were selected for full reading, with 22 included. Based on the previous literature, 35 patients were included. The majority of cases were from low- and middle-income countries (
