The effect of diabetes mellitus on tuberculosis in eastern China: A decision-tree analysis based on a real-world study.
Article in Journal of diabetes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesThe public health system faces major challenges due to the double burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) in China. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and impact of diabetes on patients with TB.
methodsStratified cluster sampling was used to select 13 counties as study sites in the Zhejiang province. Patients who visited designated TB hospitals in these areas participated in this study between 1 January 2017 and 28 February 2019. Multiple logistic regression models were performed to investigate the association between DM and bacteriological and imaging results. A decision tree was used to predict the bacteriology and imaging results under the influence of DM.
resultsOf 5920 patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis, 643 (12.16%) had DM. Patients with pulmonary TB and DM were more likely to have pulmonary cavities (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.81; 95% confidence intervals [95% CI]: 2.35-3.37) and higher rates of positive bacteriological tests (aOR, 2.32; 95% CI:1.87-2.87). Decision-tree analysis showed similar results.
conclusionsConcurrence of DM and pulmonary TB makes patients more likely to have positive bacteriological results and pulmonary cavities. Therefore, appropriate measures are necessary to promptly identify and manage patients with TB and DM.
