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

Oral and maxillofacial tuberculosis is uncommon, and labial involvement is unusual. This report describes lower-lip tuberculosis presenting as a destructive ulcer that clinically resembled malignancy and highlights the value of combined histopathological and microbiological assessment. A 24-year-old man presented with a three-month history of a progressively enlarging lower-lip ulcer causing functional interference and intermittent bleeding. Examination showed a solitary 18 × 11 mm ulcer with an irregular destructive surface, elevated margins, yellow-brown crusting and slough, haemorrhagic areas, and central necrosis. Incisional biopsy demonstrated mild epithelial dysplasia overlying necrotising granulomatous inflammation with Langhans-type multinucleated giant cells and caseous necrosis. No invasive carcinoma was identified in the examined tissue. A subsequent pretreatment biopsy submitted for mycobacterial culture yielded
