Clinical characteristics and survival of patients concurrently diagnosed with lung cancer and active pulmonary tuberculosis.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in patients suspected of lung cancer is difficult because of the similarities in signs, symptoms, and radiologic results. The clinical and radiologic characteristics of the co-occurrence of pulmonary TB and lung cancer have not been fully evaluated. Methods: Patients diagnosed with lung cancer and active pulmonary TB from January 2009 to December 2017 in four hospitals of the Catholic University of Korea were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical characteristics, including the TB diagnosis methods, lung cancer pathology, staging, initial radiographic features, and survival were analyzed and compared to 575 lung cancer patients without active pulmonary TB from the same hospitals. Results: Forty-eight (0.48%) of the 9,936 lung cancer patients had active pulmonary TB confirmed for Conclusions: Rarely diagnosed concurrent active TB in lung cancer patients was associated with lower BMI and advanced clinical stages. Active investigation of and treatment for active pulmonary TB in lung cancer patients might possibly improve patient outcomes.
