Central nervous system tuberculosis: characteristics, risks, and outcomes in California adults, 2010-2022.

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: Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis (TB) is rare and causes substantial morbidity and mortality. We quantified the frequency, characteristics, outcomes, and risks associated with CNS TB. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of culture-confirmed TB in adults reported to the California TB Registry during 2010-2022 to compare individuals with CNS TB vs. non-CNS TB. We used a causal diagram and modified Poisson model with robust variance to estimate the adjusted relative risk of CNS TB vs. non-CNS TB among people with TB caused by Results: There were 21,117 TB cases reported; 382 (1.8 %) involved the CNS. Compared to those without CNS TB, those with CNS TB were more likely younger, of Hispanic ethnicity, born in Mexico, infected with Conclusion: More than one quarter of patients with CNS TB died. People with TB caused by
