Molecular typing of mycobacteria isolated from tuberculous lymphadenitis cases in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Article in The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn Ethiopia, one of the world's 22 high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, one third of the tuberculosis (TB) cases are attributed to tuberculosis lymphadenitis (TBLN). However, information on the molecular type of the mycobacterial species and strains that cause TBLN in the country is scarce.
objectiveTo identify the species and strains of mycobacteria that cause TBLN in Ethiopia. METHODS AND
resultsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 206 presumed TBLN cases to characterise positive culture isolates. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex species and strains were identified using region of difference 9 deletion and SITVIT WEB, respectively. Of the 206 fine-needle aspirate samples collected, 74 (36%) were culture-positive: 73 (98.6%) of the isolates were M. tuberculosis, and the remaining 1.4% were M. bovis. Further characterisation of the 73 M. tuberculosis isolates led to 26 distinct spoligotype international types (SITs) and 13 newly identified patterns. The most prevalent strains were SIT149, SIT53, SIT26 and SIT37 of sublineages T3-ETH, T1, CASI-DELHI and T3, respectively; these accounted for 52.6% of the total number of strains.
conclusionTBLN was mainly caused by M. tuberculosis and highly clustered strains SIT149, SIT53, SIT26 and SIT37 of sublineages T3-ETH, T1, CASI-DELHI and T3, respectively.
