Risk Factors for Delayed Isolation of Patients with Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis in an Acute-care Hospital.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The objective of the current study was to determine the factors associated with delayed isolation of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). In this retrospective study, data of patients newly diagnosed with pulmonary TB from January 2015 through December 2017 at a referral hospital were reviewed. Delayed recognition of pulmonary TB was defined as failure to initiate airborne isolation within the first 3 days of admission. We analyzed the clinical, microbiological, and radiological factors associated with delayed isolation of pulmonary TB. A total of 134 patients with positive sputum acid-fast bacilli (AFB) cultures were analyzed, of which 44 (33%) were isolated within 3 days after admission. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, older age (p = 0.01), admission to departments other than Infectious Disease or Pulmonology (p = 0.005), and presence of malignancy (p = 0.02) were associated with delayed isolation. Patients with a radiologic diagnosis of active pulmonary TB were likely to be isolated early (p = 0.01). Better awareness of pulmonary TB among attending practitioners in hospital settings is required. Delay in isolation is associated with older age, malignancy, hospitalization to departments other than Infectious Disease or Pulmonology, and non-confident radiologic diagnosis of active pulmonary TB.
