The Footprint of Diabetes Mellitus on the Characteristics and Response to Anti-Tuberculous Therapy in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis from Saudi Arabia.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundRight now, a tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) syndemic is re-emerging worldwide. Given the contradictory results of the impact of DM on the natural history of pulmonary TB (PTB), this study was undertaken to shed light on the precision of this hypothesis from a community with a substantial caseload of both diseases.
methodsThe present 5-year, retrospective, cohort study involved 487 (60.8% males, and 39.2% females) adult PTB patients (mean age 53.71 ± 15.78 years) selected from Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital (DSFH), Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The relevant patients' clinical, radiological and microbiological data were extracted from the hospital medical and laboratory database.
resultsIn our study, the cumulative prevalence of DM among PTB subjects was 27.1%. Both diabetic and non-diabetic groups were matched with regard to gender (
conclusionDM showed an impact on different aspects of PTB. Accordingly, integrated bi-directional screening programs for both diseases in the KSA need to be implemented to upgrade health-care services of patients with dual diagnosis.
