Article in European academic research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundTuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem in Sudan. However, the strains responsible for the epidemic of TB have been poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to characterize the causative agent of TB isolates circulating in Kassala and Gezira States during 2011-2012.
methodNinety two Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains were isolated from sputum samples of pulmonary TB patients, attending the Teaching Hospitals in Kassala and Gezira states. Molecular identification was performed using region of difference 9 (RD9) deletion and spoligotyping methods. Spoligotype patterns were compared with those listed in the international SITVIT2 spoligotyping database.
resultsThe results determined the circulation of Euro-American, Central Asian, and Indo-Oceanic Lineages. They were clustered in the following clades: Manu2 (64.8%), CAS (22.7%), EAI (4.5), LAM2 (2.3%), H3 (1.1%), T (1.1%), T3-ETH (1.1%), T5-RUS1 (1.1%). Comparison with the international multi-marker database SITVIT2, 76.1% of isolates matched the database, while 23.9% of the isolates were not represented in SITVIT2 (orphans). SIT54 (Manu2) was the most common strain circulating in the two states.
conclusionThe study showed that a large variety of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) genotypes were circulating in the two states. Further studies on identification and molecular characterization of mycobacterial are needed to understand the biodiversity, rate of transmission and the associated risk factors of MTB in Sudan.
