Superimposed Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) in a 26-Year-Old Female with No Underlying Co-Morbidities Recovering from COVID-19-Case Report.

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 before the COVID-19 pandemic is said to have killed more people globally than any other communicable disease and is ranked the 13th cause of death, according to the WHO. Tuberculosis also still remains highly endemic, especially in LIMCs with a high burden of people living with HIV/AIDS, in which it is the leading cause of mortality. Given the risk factors associated with COVID-19, the cross similarities between tuberculosis and COVID-19 symptoms, and the paucity of data on how both diseases impact each other, there is a need to generate more information on COVID-19-TB co-infection. In this case report, we present a young female patient of reproductive age with no underlying comorbidities recovering from COVID-19, who later presented with pulmonary tuberculosis. It describes the series of investigations performed and treatments given during the follow-up. There is a need for more surveillance for possible COVID-19-TB co-infection cases and further research to understand the impact of COVID-19 on tuberculosis and vice versa, especially in LMICs.
