Hematological manifestations in patients newly diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: To determine the frequency of various hematological manifestations among newly diagnosed cases of pulmonary tuberculosis on complete blood counts. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 500 newly diagnosed patients of pulmonary tuberculosis in hematology department of Nishtar Medical University from 1 Results: In this study the mean age of patients was 34.36 ± 6.41 years with male to female ratio 2.52: 1. Frequency of anemia was 82.6% (n=413), leukocytosis was 46.2% (n=231) and leucopenia in 102 patients (20.4%). Thrombocytosis was detected in 131(26.2%) patients. Raised ESR was observed in 495(99%) of the patients. No association of age and gender was observed with hematological manifestations. However, thrombocytosis was significantly more common in male patients (p-value = 0. 008). Conclusion: Hematological parameters like high Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and anemia were commonly detected in newly diagnosed patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Thrombocytosis was seen more commonly in male patients of pulmonary tuberculosis.
