[Epidemiological profile and diagnostic and evolutionary features of TB patients at the Diagnostic Centre for Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases in Settat, Morocco].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Introduction: tuberculosis is a public health problem in Morocco. This study aims to examine the epidemiological profile as well as the evolutionary and diagnostic features of tuberculosis in Settat, Morocco. Methods: we conducted a retrospective descriptive and analytical study of data from the medical records of TB patients managed at the Diagnostic Centre for Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases in Settat, Morocco from 1 Results: we identified 1270 cases of tuberculosis. Lung involvement was more common than extrapulmonary involvement. Ganglionic tuberculosis mainly occurred in patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Severe forms included tuberculous meningitis (10 cases) and miliary tuberculosis (10 cases). Diagnosis was bacteriologically confirmed in the majority of patients (84.09%). Extreme ages and female sex were mainly affected by extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Recovery was reported in 35.12% of patients and its rate was higher in pulmonary TB patients than in extrapulmonary TB patients (62.18% vs 0.37%; P<0.001). Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (19.33% vs 10.81%; P<0.001) were mainly lost to follow-up. Death occurred to almost the same extent in patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (2.52% vs. 2.56%). Conclusion: efforts on all fronts are still needed if the country is to achieve the goal of eliminating TB by 2030.
