Descriptors of multidrug-resistant TB deaths in Ethiopia.
Article in Public health action, 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
Deaths related to multidrug-resistant TB among patients who had received a second-line anti-TB drugs in Ethiopia were analysed. Respectively 38/704 (5.4%) and 44/995 (4.4%) deaths were identified in two cohorts (2015 and 2022). In the 2015 cohort, severe malnutrition was less prevalent, previous treatment rates were three times higher, hypokalaemia was more frequent, and the use of the Xpert® MTB/RIF assay, respiratory failure and severe anaemia/pancytopenia were less common than in the 2022 cohort. We observed that there were variations in adverse events when different treatment regimens were used over different time periods. To ensure proper patient care, correct guidance must be consistently implemented.
