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: COVID-19 and tuberculosis (TB) were the top two leading causes of death from a single infectious agent in 2022. Aim: This study aimed at assessing COVID-19 knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) and their associated factors among pulmonary TB patients and healthy individuals in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Setting: The study was conducted at the Jamot Hospital in Yaoundé, a main referral hospital for TB management in Cameroon. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to recruit a consecutive sample of TB patients and healthy participants at Jamot Hospital and communities in Yaoundé, Cameroon, from April 2022 to March 2023. Data on socio-demographic characteristics and COVID-19 KAP were collected and analysed using logistic regression with significance considered at Results: Out of 409 participants, 67.5% had good knowledge, 54% had a favourable attitude, and 22.5% had good practices towards COVID-19. Multivariate analysis identified TB status, age, sex, and marital status as significant factors influencing KAP scores. Good knowledge and good practices were associated with being healthy, young, and single ( Conclusion: Gaps in COVID-19 KAP among TB patients highlight the need for targeted public health interventions, with a focus on TB patients, males, the elderly, and married individuals for better control. Contribution: Tuberculosis patients are not adopting positive prevention practices as required, thus increasing their risk of getting COVID-19 and transmitting TB, necessitating urgent action.
