Association of Micronutrients with Tuberculosis Development in HIV Infected Patients.
Article in Indian journal of clinical biochemistry : IJCB, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection associated with weakened immune system due to decreased CD4 T cell count favors development of tuberculosis. Effector immune responses are also associated with micronutrient status due to their prominent role in maintaining immune functions. Micronutrient deficiencies are quite common among HIV patients that further result into compromised immunity thus making the conditions even more favorable for mycobacteria to establish disease. So, current study was designed to assess association of different micronutrients with development of TB in HIV patients. Micronutrient levels were measured in asymptomatic HIV patients who were monitored for the development of TB during follow up period (incident TB) within one month to one year and also in symptomatic microbiologically confirmed HIV-TB patients. Among various micronutrients assessed, levels of ferritin were found to be significantly increased (
