1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

•CB-NAAT performance compared in 831 suspected pulmonary and extrapulmonary suspected cases.•The conventional stained smear and CB-NAAT results were compared to the MGIT culture.•Sensitivity and specificity of CB-NAAT was 84.43% and 94.93%.•The rapid results from CB-NAAT confirms its use in the tuberculosis diagnostic algorithm.•The benefits of disease diagnosis and prevention outweighs the price tag of the CB-NAAT tests.•This is more so for the resource poor countries where the burden of the disease is high.
