Association between treatment outcomes and extent of chest X-ray involvement among pulmonary tuberculosis patients under RNTCP in North India: A prospective study.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in India, with pulmonary involvement contributing significantly to disease burden and transmission. Hence, this prospective observational study enrolled new and previously treated sputum smear-positive patients from the NITRD DOTS area 1st September 2019 to 31st October 2019. All participants received a 6-month drug-sensitive TB regimen (2 months of HRZE followed by 4 months of HRE) to assess treatment outcomes at the end of six months. The study also analyzed whether the extent of chest X-ray involvement was associated with treatment outcome. Data shows that both the extent of chest X-ray involvement and the presence of cavities on chest X-ray were found to be significantly associated with unsuccessful treatment outcomes.
