1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: Point out the social specifics of patients with tuberculosis, which persist despite the socioeconomic development of Slovak society. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted on a sample of consecutive patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis during the first half of 2023. The collected data were aggregated and compared with the results of European Health Interview Survey (EHIS) in 2019. Results: We found significant differences in the distribution of the level of education, labour status, nutritional and marital status, financial poverty, smoking habits, alcohol consumption and number of rooms in the dwelling between the general population and TB patients in Slovakia. Moreover, a significant trend in the proportions was observed across contingency table categories for all ordinal variables with more than two levels. Conclusion: There are several significant social differences between patients with tuberculosis and the general Slovak population.
