A retrospective study of tuberculosis prevalence amongst patients attending a tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 (TB) is a public health challenge that affects all genders and age groups and is a single leading infectious disease killer globally. We retrospectively investigated the prevalence of TB and anti-TB drug resistance among patients treated at the Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) between the years 2000 and 2017. Patient demographic variables and drug susceptibility test results were obtained from TB notification records located in the TB laboratory at PSMMC. A total of 58,141 records were reviewed of which 1123 (2%) specimens were positive for
