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

AIM AND

objectiveAlthough studies have described the clinical profile of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with tuberculosis, it is unclear if the type of tuberculosis (pulmonary, extrapulmonary, or disseminated) impacts outcome. MATRIALS AND

methodsDemographic data, microbiology, treatment, and outcomes over 5 years (2012-16) were obtained from electronic records. Patients were categorized as pulmonary, extrapulmonary, or disseminated tuberculosis. Comparisons were done using

resultsOf the 428 ICU admissions with suspected tuberculosis, 212 (121 male) patients with mean (standard deviation) age of 41.9 (16.7) years and APACHE-II score of 20.8 (6.6) were diagnosed as pulmonary (

conclusionIn this cohort of patients admitted to ICU with tuberculosis, 50% were newly diagnosed during ICU admission. Pulmonary site of involvement and need for organ support are independent risk factors for death. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Thomas L, Chacko B, Jupudi S, Mathuram A, George T, Gunasekaran K,
