MULTIDRUG RESISTANT MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS IN ADAMAWA STATE, NIGERIA.
Article in African journal of infectious diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThere is a need to have regular updates from regions where high burden of tuberculosis (TB) have been reported in order to assist the local and global bodies in their objective to curtail the spread of drug resistant TB (DRTB). This study presents a situation report of DRTB in Adamawa State which has been identified as one of the States with high burden of TB in Nigeria. MATERIALS AND
methodsSputum culture in Lowenstein-Jensen Media, drug sensitivity tests and the GeneXpert MTB/Rif analysis were used in the identification and drug susceptibility studies of
resultsThe age of TB patients range from 17 to 70 years (median = 30 years). Twenty (50 %)
conclusionThere is a need to provide interventions to control MDRTB in the state and to make such interventions available and closer to the patients.
