Burden of Tuberculosis in Western Sudan During the Sudan Armed Conflict.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTuberculosis remains the leading cause of death from infectious diseases worldwide. This study assesses the impact of tuberculosis in western Sudan during armed conflict in 2023-2024. METHODOLOGY: This study was conducted by the respiratory department of El-Obeid Teaching Hospital in North Kordofan State, Sudan. The study encompassed 751 patients with tuberculosis. Data were collected in August 2024. A data collection sheet was developed to compile all pertinent information.
resultsOf the 751 patients, 659 (87.7%) were classified as new cases, 85 (11.3%) as recurrent cases, and seven (9.3%) as multidrug-resistant (MDR). Of the 659 new cases, 470 (86.2%) were male patients, and 206 (91.7%) were female. The majority of patients were aged 26-35 years with 166 (22.1%), followed by those aged 19-25 years at 160 (21.3%) and 36-45 years at 127 (16.9%), totaling 127 individuals.
conclusionThe incidence rate of tuberculosis rose markedly during the armed conflict in Sudan from 54 per 100,000 to 63 per 100,000 people. During wartime, there was an increase in recurrent disease, non-compliance with treatment methods, and multidrug resistance. The demographics most affected include men, laborers, and individuals employed in gold mining. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is increasingly detected in lymph nodes, pleura, and abdominal areas. Immediate enhancements to the healthcare system are necessary to prevent the widespread transmission of tuberculosis in Sudan.
