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 & Aim: It is aimed to analyze the relationship between stigmatization levels and social support perceptions of tuberculosis patients. Methods & Materials: Research data are collected using socio-demographic information form, Stigmatization Scale in Patients with Tuberculosis and Multidimensional Social Support Scale. Results: 85.5 % of the patients have said that there are no other tuberculosis patients in their families. 83.9 % of the patients have stated that they did not tell anyone that they had tuberculosis. The results of the study show that patients with tuberculosis faced stigmatization, that their score from the scale is at a moderate level [mean:88.0 ± 10.33], and they got a moderate score [mean:54.19 ± 14.07] on the social support perception scale. It is determined that there is a negative relationship between social support perception and stigmatization. It is determined that tuberculosis patients experienced medium level of stigmatization. It is determined that their social support perception is at a medium level. Conclusion: Stigmatization level is found to be significantly higher in individuals whose support from family, friends and a significant other in their life decreased. In order to reduce stigmatization in patients with tuberculosis, it may be recommended to increase the awareness of the society about the disease.
