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

Pulmonary tuberculosis caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) was diagnosed in a 6-year-old female rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) presented with a three-month history of intermittent coughing, dyspnea, weight loss, and inappetence. Hematological evaluation revealed moderate regenerative anemia and neutrophilic leukocytosis, while the thoracic radiography demonstrated a diffuse nodular interstitial pulmonary pattern consistent with tuberculosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by IS6110-targeted PCR. This case underscores the utility of combining radiographic and molecular diagnostic approaches for the early confirmation of tuberculosis in nonhuman primates and highlights its important zoonotic implications.
