Effect of alcohol consumption on relapse outcomes among tuberculosis patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major public health issues in every country. Alcohol consumption is one of the reasons associated with the severity of symptoms and death among TB patients. The impact of alcohol use on TB relapse outcomes is still debatable. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis (SR/MA) to find the link between alcohol use and TB relapse outcomes. Methods: Data collection was performed from December 2021 to March 2022; and was obtained from electronic databases including CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus. The researcher carefully searched and reviewed all the relevant research concerning drinking alcohol and relapse outcomes among TB patients. A set of inclusion and exclusion criteria was used to assess research publications. The methodological quality of eligible publications was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Random meta-analysis was used to determine odds ratios (ORs) with a 95% confidence interval (CIs). The funnel plot, Begg's test, and Egger's test were employed to investigate publication bias. Results: There were a total of 2,113 studies found and reviewed, and eight publications were chosen for the analysis. It was found that among TB patients with a moderate appearance of heterogeneity, drinking alcohol increases the probability of relapse (OR = 3.64; 95% CI: 2.26-5.88, Conclusions: Relapses and mortality among tuberculosis patients are considerably increased by alcohol drinking. More research into the causality of this link between the degree of alcohol use and the underlying processes is required. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO [CRD 42022295865].
