Key drivers of the TB epidemic in Suriname and priority actions to reduce incidence and mortality.

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
backgroundThe WHO has recently published updated guidance for national strategic planning for TB. To address the TB epidemic comprehensively, it is necessary to conduct an epidemiological review as part of the situation analysis in the national strategic plan.
methodsA descriptive epidemiological study was conducted using data from the national TB register for the period of 2010-2020. Simple frequencies were calculated for demographic and clinical variables. Trends in TB notification rates for the period 2010-2020 were also calculated.
resultsTB notification rates between 2011 (24.3/100,000) and 2019 (23.9/100,000) remained almost the same. The HIV status was known for 97.1% of TB cases, 22.7% of whom had HIV co-infection; 10.9% of patients with detected
conclusionThe review identified the following areas of concern: no decline in TB rates, high proportion of TB-HIV co-infection, high rate of resistance to rifampicin, high case-fatality rates and suboptimal contact investigation care cascade . The review was used to inform interventions and key actions to reduce TB morbidity and mortality in Suriname.
