Diagnostic utility of ADA and CBNAAT in tubercular pleural effusion.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The diagnostic performance of Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) and Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) in diagnosing tubercular pleural effusion (TPE) is of interest. Hence, a study was conducted over 18 months at LN Medical College and JK Hospital, Bhopal. The study involved 108 adult patients with TPE. Data shows that CBNAAT, although highly specific, had limited sensitivity, while ADA ≥40 IU/L demonstrated strong sensitivity. ADA levels were significantly higher in CBNAAT-positive participants, suggesting that combining both tests enhances diagnostic accuracy. This approach can help reduce the need for invasive procedures and improve timely treatment, especially in resource-limited settings. We show the importance of using ADA and CBNAAT together in the diagnosis of TPE.
