Insights Into Urogenital Tuberculosis: Impact of Microbiological Diagnosis.
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
Many varied presentations of genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) such as recurrent urinary tract infection, sterile pyuria (pus cells in urine despite a negative routine bacterial culture) with/without haematuria, irritating voiding symptoms, infertility, hydronephrosis and renal failure had been published in the literature. Tuberculous epididymo-orchitis (inflammation of the epididymis and testis) is an underreported and rare form of GUTB. Non-specific symptoms of epididymal tuberculosis (TB) are difficult to differentiate from cysts, tumours and other infections. Bilateral epididymal involvement with testicular lesion increases the suspicion of tubercular aetiology. Tuberculous epididymo-orchitis in late stages may present with non-functioning kidney and thimble bladder (a severely contracted, small-capacity bladder due to chronic inflammation) and infertility. Timely diagnosis and treatment will prevent late sequelae of the disease. Here, we present three cases of GUTB in young males: two cases of isolated tuberculous epididymo-orchitis (cases 1 and 3) and one case of complicated drug-resistant genitourinary tuberculosis (case 2). These rare cases were managed successfully with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
