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

backgroundGiven the increased vulnerability of people with disabilities to poor health outcomes, we evaluated the impact of disability on long-term mortality among tuberculosis (TB) survivors.

methodsWe conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study using the linked national registry databases in the Republic of Korea. The study included 305,055 TB patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2016 who survived at least 1 year. The primary outcome was to compare long-term mortality after TB diagnosis between people with and without disabilities. Long-term mortality was defined as all-cause mortality at least 1 year after TB diagnosis. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the risk of long-term mortality. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed based on disability type, severity, and cause of death.

resultsDisabilities were present in 10.1% of survivors and were associated with higher mortality rates (46.3 vs. 16.3 per 1,000 person-years,

conclusionLong-term mortality risk is significantly higher in TB survivors with disabilities.
