Prevalence of multidrug resistance tuberculosis in adult patients in India: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundMultidrug resistance tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is an important public health problem for India but there is a paucity of data related to the prevalence of MDR-TB in India. This systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to synthesize evidence regarding the prevalence of MDR-TB in adult patients in India.
methodsPubMed and Google Scholar were searched to find different observational studies reporting MDR-TB prevalence in India. Data related to MDR-TB prevalence were pooled for the analysis. PubMed was searched by using different MeSH words. Prevalence was reported with 95% confidence interval (CI). A separate analysis was done for new cases and previously treated cases. Random effect model was used and heterogeneity was assessed by I
resultsMDR-TB prevalence in new cases were 3% (95% CI 2%-5%, I
conclusionMDR-TB prevalence in previously treated patients was found higher compared to the reported values in national surveys. There is a need for large scale cross-sectional study to verify the findings observed in this review.
