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

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health challenge, with Thailand identified as a high-burden country for TB and TB-HIV infections by WHO in 2021-2025. While the standard TB treatment regimen-including isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol-is highly effective but drug-induced liver toxicity is a serious concern. Among these toxicities, cholestatic jaundice, primarily linked to rifampicin, is understudied in terms of its prevalence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The medical records of TB patients who received rifampicin between January 1, 2017, and November 30, 2022, were reviewed. Cases of cholestatic jaundice during treatment were identified. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, laboratory results, and treatment outcomes were collected and analyzed. Risk factors were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regressions. Results: The prevalence of rifampicin-induced cholestatic jaundice was 1.52%. Key risk factors were age ≥ 60 years (aOR: 3.82, 95% CI: 2.07-7.06, p < 0.001) and BMI < 18.5 kg/m Conclusions: Rifampicin-induced cholestatic jaundice was observed in 1.52% of TB patients. Older age (≥60 years) and low BMI (<18.5 kg/m
