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.

Objective: To identify the composition of comorbidities among patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis and assess the impact of comorbidities on the clinical characteristics of patients. Methods: This study was conducted in 13 hospitals across 13 counties in Zhejiang province, China. Patient data collected in this study included demographic characteristics, chest radiography results, etiological results, and comorbidities. Descriptive statistics were conducted to describe the composition of comorbidities of all participants. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyzes were performed to identify the effects of comorbidities on the clinical features of the participants. Results: Of the 8,421 total participants, 27.6% reported cavities in the chest radiography results, 41.9% were Conclusion: The prevalence of comorbidities was high in patients newly diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. Thus, integration of screening and personalized management is needed for the control of tuberculosis and its comorbidities.
