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: Tuberculosis (TB), as one of the challenges of the health system in Iran, is of interest to Iranian researchers. It is necessary to present the research perspective of the research in this field to guide the future research. The aim of this research is bibliometric and citation study and providing a scientific map of TB research in Iran. Methods: This bibliometric and cross-sectional analyzes the research outputs of the subject area of TB indexed in the Scopus database up to 2024. SciMAT and VOSviewer software were used to visualize and predict the trends in research on the topic. Results: The most scientific productions occurred in the years 2020-2022 as well as 2016, and the research density was low in these years. Isoniazid and rifampicin were the most frequent topics in TB researches. In terms of average citations, diabetes mellitus had the most citations. Multidrug-resistant TB, diseases and complications, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and epidemiology of TB, and immunological and genetic studies related to TB are three research lines in TB research. Conclusion: TB research in Iran is expanding both quantitatively and in terms of research concepts. Thematic maps and strategic diagrams were presented. Paying attention to themes and strategic diagrams in the research decision-making of TB researchers in Iran in order to conduct effective research is helpful. Also, subject specialists in various fields of TB can obtain a specific research perspective based on the maps and indicators provided.
