Distribution incidence, mortality of tuberculosis and human development index in Iran: estimates from the global burden of disease study 2019.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 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
backgroundTuberculosis is one of the most serious challenges facing the global healthcare system. This study aims to investigate the incidence and mortality of tuberculosis in Iran from 2010 to 2019 as well as its relationship with the human development index (HDI).
methodsThe present study is an ecological study aiming at investigating the incidence and mortality of tuberculosis in Iran during the years 2010 to 2019. The related data were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) website. The spatial pattern attributed to tuberculosis in the provinces of Iran was analyzed using ArcGIS software. In this study, the two-variable correlation method was used to analyze the data extracted to study the correlation between Tuberculosis and HDI.
resultBased on the results recorded in GBD, the incidence of tuberculosis in 2010, that is, 14.61 (12.72, 16.74), declined compared to 2019, namely 12.29 (10.71, 14.09). The age-standardized mortality rate which was 1.63 (1.52, 1.73) in 2010, has decreased compared to 2019: 1.17 (1.07, 1.32). The incidence and mortality rates of tuberculosis in Iran in all age groups have decreased in 2019 compared to 2010. The highest incidence and mortality among tuberculosis patients were recorded in Sistan and Baluchistan and Golestan provinces. The results indicated that there was a negative and significant correlation between the mortality rate of tuberculosis and the human development index in 2010 (r = -0.509, P-value = 0.003) and 2019 (r = -0.36, P-value = 0.001); however, this correlation between incidence and human development index was not significant (p > 0.05).
conclusionSince mortality is mostly observed in areas with low HDI, health system policymakers must pay more attention to these areas in order to improve care and perform screenings to diagnose and treat patients thus reducing the mortality rate of tuberculosis and preventing an increase in its incidence in Iran.
