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

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a common and serious opportunistic infection among HIV-infected individuals, with clinical presentation closely tied to immune status. In this prospective study of 100 HIV-positive patients with TB, pulmonary TB predominated in those with CD4 counts >200, while extra pulmonary and disseminated TB were strongly associated with CD4 counts <200. Symptoms such as cough and fever were prevalent and radiographic findings varied with immune suppression levels. CD4 counts served as a critical marker in determining the clinical spectrum and severity of TB. These findings underscore the importance of CD4-based assessment in guiding timely diagnosis and targeted management of TB in HIV patients.
