Characteristics Indicative of Tuberculosis/HIV Coinfection in a High-Burden Setting: Lessons from 13,802 Incident Tuberculosis Cases in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Country-specific interventions targeting high-risk groups are necessary for a global reduction in Tuberculosis (TB)/HIV burden. We analyzed the data of 13,802 TB cases diagnosed in Harare, Zimbabwe, during 2013-2017. Pearson's chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify patient characteristics significantly associated with TB/HIV coinfection. Of the 13,802 TB cases analyzed, 9,725 (70.5%) were HIV positive. A significantly higher odds of having TB/HIV coinfection diagnosis was found among females, patients aged 25-64 years, previously treated cases, and acid-fast bacillus sputum smear-negative cases. Compared with nondisseminated pulmonary TB, miliary TB (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.469, 95% CI: 1.071, 2.015) and TB meningitis (aOR: 1.715, 95% CI: 1.074, 2.736) both had a significantly higher odds for TB/HIV coinfection, whereas pleural TB (aOR 0.420, 95% CI: 0.354, 0.497) and all other extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) (aOR: 0.606, 95% CI: 0.516 0.712) were significantly less likely to have TB/HIV coinfection. The risk for TB/HIV coinfection varied significantly by patients' sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in Harare. Our finding that different forms of EPTB have different relationships with HIV coinfection has extended the knowledge base about clinical markers for TB/HIV coinfection which can lead to a greater public health impact on eliminating TB/HIV infection.
