Study of Risk Factors Associated with Bad Outcome among Pediatric Patients with Tubercular Bacterial Meningitis.
Article in Journal of global infectious diseases. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: The study aimed to evaluate the risk factors linked to poor outcomes in pediatric patients diagnosed with tubercular bacterial meningitis (TBM). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at King George's Medical University in India, focusing on children diagnosed with TBM ( Results: Out of a total of 514 patients with TBM, 98 (19.1%) patients experienced a poor outcome. Multivariate analysis identified several factors associated with a poor outcome: age over 5 years ( Conclusion: The study identified key risk factors for poor outcomes in childhood TBM, including age over 5 years, high CSF protein levels, coma, hydrocephalus, and inadequate BCG immunization. These factors underline the severity of childhood TBM as a public health issue and emphasize the need for timely initiation of antituberculosis therapy.
