COVID-19 and pulmonary Tubercuiosis coinfection: three case reports from Iran.
Article in The Indian journal of tuberculosis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tubercuiosis is still a significant problem worldwide. Until the COVID-19 pandemic, tuberculosis was the leading cause of mortality from a single infectious agent. Pulmonary Tubercuiosis patients are more tending to be co-infected with COVID-19 notably when they have a history of exposure. There are some case reports relating to pulmonary TB and COVID-19 coinfection but the information about TB and COVID-19 was still little. We report three coinfected patients. Case one and two were both middle-aged Iranian mans with history of opium addiction, case one presented with dyspnea and weakness and case two presented with progressive weakness. Case three was a healthy young man with history of progressive dyspnea, productive cough and hemoptysis. Case one and case three were improved. In conclusion, COVID-19 is still an important issue and can coexist with other lung infections such as Pulmonary Tubercuiosis, so we should be aware of the advancement of the Tubercuiosis epidemic after the COVID-19 pandemic.
