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
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is one of the deadliest disease and a major burden on the healthcare system in India. India, a second most populous country in the world, has a very high global annual incidence of tuberculosis. Multiple hematological changes have been reported in patients with tuberculosis such as iron deficiency anemia, folate deficiency, and sideroblastic anemia. AIMS AND
objectivesThe present study was planned to find the prevalence and characteristics of anemia in the new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. The secondary objective was to assess the predictors of anemia in new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.
methodsThe retrospective study was carried out at a tertiary care hospital of Uttarakhand and included all the new cases of tuberculosis aged more than 18 years attending medicine outpatient and inpatient departments over a period of 1 year. Detailed demographic, clinical, and biochemical data were obtained from the hospital record section and tabulated.
resultsMost patients with tuberculosis and anemia were more than 50 years of age. Clearly, males outnumbered females. Approximately, 80% patients were illiterates. A majority (71, 39.2%) of the patients had BMI within the range of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m
conclusionNormocytic normochromic anemia is a common hematological abnormality in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Thus, it warrants frequent screening for anemia in all the cases of pulmonary tuberculosis to improve morbidity and mortality in these patients.
