The prevalence of HIV among tuberculosis patients in Benadir, Somalia. Retrospective multi-center study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Introduction: In 2020, 8% of TB patients were con-infected with the Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (HIV) and 50% in parts of southern Africa. Due to a lack of available data, we will determine the prevalence of HIV infection among TB patients in the Benadir region. Methods: This is a record study of the HIV prevalence among TB cases in all Benadir TB centers from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. All those whose HIV status had not been identified and all drug-resistant cases were excluded from this study. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. Results: 46 out of 3061 (1.5%) patients were HIV/TB co-infected. 63% and 37% were males and females, respectively. 78.2% of HIV-TB co-infected cases were 20-49 years old, which was statistically significant (P = 0.00048). 75.6% of TB/HIV co-infected patients were bacteriologically confirmed cases. Conclusion: The prevalence of HIV among TB patients in Benadir is very low. This may imply that the prevalence of HIV in the general population is also very low.
