A bipolar fuzzy decision-making system for assessing high-risk coexisting tuberculosis disease in pregnant women.

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
Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis poses a formidable challenge in global healthcare, particularly impacting older individuals and pregnant women. Diagnosing TB disease during pregnancy and in comorbid patients is more challenging due to overlapping symptoms with normal pregnancy conditions and existing treatments for other diseases, necessitating careful assessment to differentiate TB symptoms from those of other underlying conditions. To address this issue, this study designs a novel bipolar fuzzy decision-support system by integrating the concept of complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) and a technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) approaches using bipolar heptagonal fuzzy numbers. The approach is utilized to assess the high-risk of TB coinfection disease in pregnant women. The bipolar fuzzy set provides positive and negative membership degrees of an element, which divulge a balanced perspective by both the presence and absence of the disease. Additionally, a defuzzification algorithm is proposed for bipolar heptagonal fuzzy numbers, converting bipolar heptagonal fuzzy into a bipolar crisp score (CBHpFBCS). The bipolar fuzzy entropy measure is utilized to weight the criteria. The findings highlight that TB+HIV
