Assessment of Comorbidity in Patients with Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis.
Article in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 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
A wide range of comorbidities, especially in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) patients, markedly complicates selecting effective treatment of tuberculosis (TB) and preventing the development of adverse events. At present, it is impossible to assess the severity of comorbid pathologies and develop indications for the administration of accompanying therapy in TB patients. The aim of this study was to identify the difference in the range of comorbidities between patients with MDR-TB and XDR-TB and assess the impact of comorbidities on TB treatment. Materials and Methods: A retrospective, prospective study was conducted where 307 patients with MDR-TB and XDR-TB pulmonary tuberculosis aged 18 to 75 years who received eTB treatment from 2016 to 2021 in St. Petersburg hospitals were analyzed. The analysis showed that the comorbidity level in MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients with TB treatment success and treatment failure was comparable with the use of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The CCI demonstrated declining data in terms of TB treatment outcome period in both groups. A slight predominance of CCI score (3 to 4 points) in XDR-TB (22.7%) vs. MDR-TB (15.4%) patients was found. In the case of an TB treatment failure, the CCI level in MDR-TB vs. XDR-TB patients was characterized by a significantly higher rate of low magnitude (ranging from 1 to 2 points) in 21.1% vs. 4.5% (
