Prognostic factors in patients with miliary tuberculosis.
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
background and purposeAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) complication has long been considered a factor associated with poor prognosis in patients with miliary tuberculosis. However, few reports exist on the prognostic factors of miliary tuberculosis including those complicating ARDS. SUBJECTS AND
methodsWe retrospectively examined prognoses and other clinical information obtained from medical records of a total of 68 patients diagnosed with miliary tuberculosis. Clinical findings were compared between patients who died within three months (non-survivor group) and those who survived beyond three months (survivor group), and risk factors for death within three months of diagnosis were examined using logistic regression analysis.
resultsFifteen of 68 patients diagnosed with miliary tuberculosis died within three months. Most patients were aged 60 years or older (63 patients; 91.2%), with a peak in the 80 s (32 patients; 47.1%). Of the 68 patients with miliary tuberculosis, 13 (19%) had ARDS. The risk of death within three months increased with increasing age and ARDS onset during the disease course. The results of multivariate analysis revealed that, in addition to age (odd ratio (OR): 15.5) and the presence/absence of ARDS (OR: 12.0), consciousness disturbance (OR: 81.53) and high BUN levels (OR: 5.71) were independent factors for death within three months.
conclusionIn patients with miliary tuberculosis, old age, ARDS, consciousness disturbance, and high BUN levels were factors associated with poor prognosis.
