Risk of tuberculosis among HAART receiving HIV patients attending an ART centre of West Bengal, India: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of community health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This prospective study was conducted to find out the incidence density rate and to identify the attributed risk factors of Tuberculosis development among ART receivers. All patients who were registered in a nodal ART centre of India within 1st January 2008-31st December 2008 and had been initiated ART in the year of 2008 were considered as a cohort and were followed up till 31st December 2012. This study was started with 169 ART receivers and ended with 129 patients. During total 631.1 person-years observation, 39 TB cases (31 pulmonary and 8 extra pulmonary) were diagnosed. TB incidence density rate reduced from 12.08/100 to 1.12/100 person-years during the follow up periods. Cox regression model revealed that patients having past history of Tuberculosis were at 5 times higher risk (Hazard ratio = 5.205; 95 % CI 2.439-11.106; p = 0.000). Patients with WHO clinical stage 3 or 4 at the time of enrolment had 2 times more risk of development of TB (Hazard ratio = 2.081; 95 % CI 1.502-2.884; p = 0.000). This study highlighted that special attention should be paid on earliest identification of TB among the HIV patients who had past history of TB or suffering from WHO clinical stage 3 or 4 to prevent the silent transmission and multidrug resistance development of Tuberculosis in the community.
