Burden of HIV and tuberculosis co-infection in Montreal, Quebec.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 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
objectiveDefine the burden of HIV-TB co-infection and predictors of HIV screening among incident TB cases.
methodsAnalysis of surveillance data on TB incident cases reported to Montreal's Public Health Department from 2004 to 2009. Among all reported TB cases, proportions of cases with HIV testing and HIV infection were calculated by patient characteristics. A test for linear trends was performed on the annual proportions of HIV-tested and HIV-positive cases. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) for HIV testing at time of TB diagnosis were computed.
resultsA total of 778 incident TB cases were included in the analysis. HIV testing was reported for 50.8% (n=395) of cases. The proportion of HIV-tested cases increased significantly from 43% in 2004 to 70% in 2009. HIV-TB co-infection was found in 9.3% of patients with reported HIV status or in 4.2% of the overall cohort. HIV prevalence was high in men, individuals aged 40-59, those originating from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean, and the homeless. Multivariate analysis revealed that HIV testing at time of TB diagnosis was performed mainly for subjects born in the Caribbean, Central or South America, or Sub-Saharan Africa, those with pulmonary disease, and injection drug users.
conclusionsAlthough reporting of HIV testing among incident TB patients increased, targeted HIV testing still occurs. HIV prevalence in TB cases remained stable during the study period; however, it may be underestimated due to missed opportunities for HIV testing and under-reporting.
