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
Objective: Exploring the risk factors for readmission of elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) within one month using the propensity score matching(PSM). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of elderly patients with PTB who were admitted to the Tuberculosis Department of Lishui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to October 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: non-readmission group and readmission group based on whether they were readmitted within one month after discharge. The PSM method was used to match the baseline data of the two groups of patients, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the risk factors for readmission of elderly patients with PTB within one month after discharge. Results: A total of 1268 hospitalized elderly patients with PTB were included in the study, comprising 977 readmitted patients and 291 newly admitted patients (22.95%). Using the PSM, 288 pairs of patients were successfully matched. Following matching, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender, age, occupation, body mass index(BMI), past medical history, etc. (all Conclusion: After controlling for confounding factors through PSM, the study revealed that infection, DILI, AHF, CKD, and EPTB are risk factors for readmission among elderly patients with PTB, highlighting the need for early intervention.
