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

backgroundTuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern globally and in Brazil. Although ambulatory treatment is recommended for most patients, hospitalizations still occur due to severe clinical presentations, social vulnerability, or treatment complications.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective, observational study of TB-related hospitalizations at a regional referral tertiary public hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, from 2013 to 2022. Medical records were reviewed to collect epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and microbiological data.

resultsAmong 197 hospitalizations for TB, 73.1% were male, with a mean age of 41.8 years. TB-HIV coinfection was identified in 55.3% of cases, with 83.5% of these patients having CD4+ T-cell counts ≤ 200 cells/mm

conclusionsIn this high-burden setting, TB hospitalizations were associated with social vulnerability, HIV coinfection, and delayed diagnosis. The high frequency of severe presentations highlights the importance of early detection and access to molecular testing. Improved integration between outpatient care and hospital services may reduce the need for hospitalization and improve outcomes.
