Bayesian parametric modeling of time to tuberculosis co-infection of HIV/AIDS patients at Jimma Medical Center, Ethiopia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Tuberculosis is the most common opportunistic infection among HIV/AIDS patients, including those following Antiretroviral Therapy treatment. The risk of tuberculosis infection is higher in people living with HIV/AIDS than in people who are free from HIV/AIDS. Many studies focused on prevalence and determinants of tuberculosis in HIV/AIDS patients without taking into account the censoring aspects of the time to event data. Therefore, this study was undertaken with aim to model time to tuberculosis co-infection of HIV/AIDS patients under follow-up at Jimma Medical Center, Ethiopia using Bayesian parametric survival models. A data of a retrospective cohort of 421 HIV/AIDS patients under follow-up from January 2016 to December 2020 until active tuberculosis was diagnosed or until the end of the study was collected from Jimma Medical Center, Ethiopia. The analysis of the data was performed using R-INLA software package. In order to identify the risk factors which have association with tuberculosis co-infection survival time, Bayesian parametric accelerated failure time survival models were fitted to the data using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation methodology. About 26.37% of the study subjects had been co-infected with tuberculosis during the study period. Among the parametric accelerated failure time models, the Bayesian log-logistic accelerated failure time model was found to be the best fitting model for the data. Patients who lived in urban areas had shorter tuberculosis co-infection free survival time compared to those who lived in rural areas with an acceleration factor of 0.2842. Patients who smoke and drink alcohol had also shorter tuberculosis co-infection survival time than those who do not smoke and drink alcohol respectively. Patients with advanced WHO clinical stages(Stage III and IV), bedridden functional status, low body mass index and severe anemic status had shorter tuberculosis co-infection survival time.
