Spatial epidemiological analysis based on township scale and analysis of influencing factors of pulmonary tuberculosis cure of Changshu city from 2015 to 2022.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to enhance the prevention and control of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and provide more effective and accurate methods in Changshu City.
methodsThe PTB patients' information came from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention (CISDCP). The demographic data for Changshu city and towns came from the Suzhou Statistical Yearbook and the LandScan platform. ArcGIS was used for global spatial autocorrelation analysis and local spatial autocorrelation analysis. Univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of cured PTB patients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to analyze the predictive efficacy and clinical benefit of the indicators. XGBoost analysis was performed to explore the feature importance of key metrics for PTB outcome.
resultsA total of 3943 PTB cases were included. The annual incidence rate of new PTB in Changshu city was 27.081 per 100,000. Changshu High-tech Industrial Development Zone in Jiangsu Province and Shajiabang town were the high-high aggregation areas and hot spot areas. Diagnosis delay, TB strain types, and drug sensitivity were independent predictors of the cure of new PTB patients.
conclusionThe central and southern areas of Changshu were the high-high cluster areas and hot spots for PTB. Shorter diagnosis delay days and mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) promote the cure of tuberculosis, while drug sensitivity was a risk factor for its cure.
