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
backgroundTuberculosis is an infectious disease that continues to present a major public health challenge. There is a recognized correlation between the condition and depression. This study aims to find out the prevalence and pattern of depression among drug-susceptible TB patients to improve treatment outcomes. METHODOLOGY: The study was a cross-sectional hospital-based survey across the directly observed therapy (DOT) centers in Ogbomosho. Sample size of 333 respondents was calculated using Leslie Fischer's formula (n = z²pq/d²). A multistage sampling technique was used to select respondents. Data was collected using a pre-tested semistructured questionnaire and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). The questionnaire covered sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, and comorbidities and included the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to assess depression. Respondents who scored 0-4 were categorized as having no depression, those who scored 5-9 were categorized as having mild depression, those who scored 10-14 were categorized as having moderate depression, while those who scored 15-19 were categorized as having moderately severe depression. Descriptive analysis was done on all variables. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done using chi-square and binary logistic regression, respectively. The level of significance is set with a p-value less than 0.05.
resultsThe overall prevalence of depression was 146 (43.8%). Among those who were depressed, 96 (65.6%) had mild depression, 36 (24.7%) had moderate depression, while 14 (9.7%) had moderately severe depression. Sex, marital status, level of education, and average monthly income were significantly associated with depression status at the bivariate level. Multivariate analysis revealed that level of education (AOR = 0.175, P = 0.001) and living with HIV (AOR = 35.303, P = 0.017) were significantly associated with depression status.
conclusionThis study found a high prevalence of depression among TB patients. Factors such as level of education and comorbidities like TB/HIV and diabetes mellitus were statistically associated with depression.
