Cerebral Manifestation of Miliary Tuberculosis Mimicking a Parasitic CNS Infection.

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
The neuroradiological findings of central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of miliary tuberculosis can be misinterpreted as parasitic infections due to their low prevalence in the European population. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman in whom CNS tuberculosis was initially misdiagnosed as a parasitic infection due to the absence of pulmonary symptoms. She immigrated to Germany from Madagascar and had lived in Europe for 14 months by the time she presented to our department with an incidental MRI finding suggestive of a manifestation of toxoplasmosis. The T1-weighted axial brain MRI scan revealed multifocal, rim-enhancing lesions that were suggestive of parasitic infection. Following a chest CT scan that revealed miliary tuberculosis, the diagnosis was revised to neurotuberculosis. This was confirmed by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that detected the
