Association of clinical and demographic factors with fungal culture in pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. 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
Pulmonary fungal infections are a significant co-infection in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Therefore, it is of interest to examine the relationship between clinical and demographic factors and fungal culture positivity in suspected or confirmed PTB cases. A cross-sectional study of 180 individuals was conducted at MGM Medical College, Indore, using sputum samples for fungal culture and KOH mount. Fungal positivity was found in 20% of patients, with a significant association with proven PTB (p = 0.003). Thus, the significant association between pulmonary tuberculosis and fungal co-infections, emphasizing the need for routine fungal screening to improve diagnosis and clinical outcomes is reported.
