Analysis of diagnosis delay among migrant pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Guangzhou from 2014 to 2022.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Delays in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) lead to more severe disease progression and sustained transmission within communities. This study aimed to assess trends and identify risk factors associated with PTB diagnosis delays, especially among migrants, in Guangzhou from 2014 to 2022. Methods: Demographic and clinical information of PTB patients from 2014 to 2022 in Guangzhou were extracted from the PTB Information Management System (TBIMS). Diagnosis delays were categorized as patient delay (>30 days from symptoms onset to first care-seeking) and hospital delay (>14 days from first care-seeking to TB diagnosis). Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for these delays. Results: A total of 35,722 migrant PTB patients were registered in Guangzhou during the study period, exhibiting distinct characteristics compared to local residents ( Conclusion: Public health strategies should prioritize improving bacteriological detection rates among migrants, with targeted efforts for high-risk groups such as females, the older adult, and ethnic minorities.
