BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL INFECTIONS IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS AND THE DRUG SENSITIVITY TEST PATTERNS.
Article in African journal of infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Other microbial infections in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients pose significant challenges, complicating treatment outcomes and potentially increasing mortality rates. This study aims to characterize the bacterial and fungal infections profiles in pulmonary TB patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted at Adam Malik Hospital in Medan, Indonesia, from June 2020 to May 2022, involving inpatients diagnosed with drug-sensitive or drug-resistant TB. The data was analyzed from total sampling subjects based on medical records. Results: From 125 pulmonary TB patients, 64% had drug-sensitive TB (DS-TB) and 36% had drug-resistant TB (DR-TB), with the majority being male and underweight. Microbial analysis showed 33.6% (n=42) of the subjects exhibited bacterial growth, 8.8% (n=11) had fungal growth and 30.4% (n=38) had mixed infection. Of 80 DS-TB patients, 80% had bacterial and fungal infections compared to 60% of 45 DR-TB patients, with Conclusions: There is a considerable presence of bacterial and fungal infections, with
