Factors associated with mortality in hospitalized patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis.

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 purpose of this study was to identify clinical and epidemiological factors associated with death in patients with an in-hospital diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB), in a city with a high prevalence of TB and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The study was a retrospective, cohort study conducted at a general, tertiary-care, university-affiliated hospital. Patients who began treatment for TB after hospitalization were included. Predictors of mortality were assessed. The primary outcomes were the in-hospital mortality and the mortality after discharge. We evaluated the medical records of 311 patients with TB. The overall mortality rate of all study participants was 99/311 (31.8%). The mortality rates during hospitalization and after discharge were 50/311 (16.1%) and 49/261 (18.8%), respectively. Mechanical ventilation, consolidation in chest X-ray, and negative sputum smear were predictors of in-hospital death in multivariate analysis. Independent predictors of mortality after discharge in multivariate analysis included total duration of hospitalization and being a current smoker. We found a high overall mortality rate for patients hospitalized with TB in a region with a high prevalence of TB and HIV. The risk of mortality once patients with TB are hospitalized is unlikely to be explained only by the HIV epidemic.
