Diagnosing Tuberculosis: Traditional and New Methods Against an Old Enemy.
Review in Journal of clinical practice and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Tuberculosis (TB) poses significant health challenges globally, contributing significantly to illness and mortality. Approximately one-fourth of the world's population is believed to carry the tuberculosis bacterium, with a 5-10% lifetime risk of developing active TB disease. Timely identification of TB and rapid detection of drug resistance are crucial in mitigating its global impact. Clinical, radiological, bacteriological, and molecular methods are used to screen and diagnose TB. Microscopy, culture, and immunological methods are commonly employed. Although microscopy has been used for approximately a century, it has limitations, necessitating its use and evaluation alongside other diagnostic techniques for a complete and accurate diagnosis. Bacterial culture in solid and liquid media is still the gold standard recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the diagnosis of TB, as it enables the isolation of
