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

Background With tuberculosis (TB) being among the top 13 leading cause of death and second leading infectious disease killer next to COVID-19 globally, there is a need for continued study and a better understanding of the risk factors and management approaches. One in five tuberculosis (TB) deaths occurs in individuals who have contracted human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, other risk factors play a role in its morbidity pattern. Therefore, descriptions of these comorbidities between TB, HIV, and other risk factors such as diabetes are needed. Method A retrospective, descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of TB and its relationship with some risk factors (HIV, diabetes, race, ethnicity, end-stage renal disease, post-organ transplant, recent contact with active TB, and other non-HIV immunosuppressive conditions) using data from three South Florida counties (Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach) from 2010 to 2019 retrieved from the CDC's
