Factors Associated with Mortality of TB/HIV Co-infected Patients in Ethiopia.

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
backgroundDespite the large number of TB patients on ART in Ethiopia, their mortality remains high. This study reports the effect of TB on HIV related mortality and determinants of TB/HIV co-infection related mortality.
methodsA longitudinal study design was employed as part of the Advanced Clinical Monitoring of ART (ACM) in Ethiopia. All patients started on ART at or after January 1, 2005 were included. Survival analysis was done to compare survival patterns of HIV patients with TB against HIV patients without TB. In addition, determinants of survival among TB/HIV co-infected patients were analyzed. Adjusted effects of the different factors on time to death were generated using Cox-proportional hazards regression.
resultsA total of 3,889 patients were enrolled in the ACM study, of which 355 TB cases were identified, making the crude prevalence 9% (95% CI 8.3 - 10.2). Overall, incidence of TB was 2.2 (95% CI 1.9-2.4) per 100 person-years. TB was highest in the first 2 months and declined with time on ART to reach 1 per 100 person years after 24 months on ART. TB was significantly associated with mortality among HIV patients on HAART (AHR 2.0, 95% CI 1.47-2.75). Male gender was associated with mortality among TB/HIV co-infected patients.
conclusionTuberculosis plays a key role in HIV associated mortality. Targeted interventions which can keep patients free of TB in the early stages of their treatment are required to reduce TB related mortality.
