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

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we should not forget about chronic, underlying and important diseases, especially diseases that cause immune system deficiency, of which TB is one and may be missed. Also, we should pay attention to the past medical history of the patients and their drug-drug interactions during the treatment period of COVID-19. Our main clinical message is that diseases such as TB, which weaken the immune system, may predispose a person to COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 may exacerbate TB and it's mortality. On the other hand, diseases that target the lung tissue such as TB and COVID-19, may have synergistic effects and increase mortality (for a patient whose lung capacity is reduced due to TB, superimposed COVID-19 can worsen the situation). In addition, it may be necessary to take more serious considerations for COVID-19 in low socio-economy countries, such as Afghanistan, where TB is more prevalent.
