Immunocompromised patients with pulmonary tuberculosis; a susceptible group to intestinal parasites.

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
aimTo investigate the presence of intestinal parasites in tuberculosis patients who suffered from immunodeficiency disorders.
backgroundTuberculosis is an important infectious disease that is endemic in some regions of Iran. However, there is a coverage in the endemicity areas of this infection with intestinal parasites.
methodsStool samples were collected from 50 immunocompromised tuberculosis patients. Direct smear using the normal saline (0.85% NaCl solution) and Lugol's iodine staining were performed to detect trophozoite of parasites. Moreover, stool samples were concentrated using routine formalin-ether to detect protozoan cysts and helminth's ova/larvae. Specific staining techniques including Trichrome, Modified Ziehl-Neelsen and chromotrope 2R were employed to detect amoeba,
resultsFrom 50 participants, 42 (84%) and 8 (16%) were male and female, respectively. The mean age + SD of patients was 47.88 + 10.88 years. Among the participated patients, HIV positive, cancer, organ transplant and receiving corticosteroids were seen in 13, 10, 15 and 12 subjects, respectively. The prevalence of Intestinal parasites was 34 %( 17/50).
conclusionOur findings showed the high prevalence of intestinal parasites with majority of
