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 prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) comorbidity is constantly rising worldwide, thus there is an urgent need for a co-diagnostic method of TB-DM in the clinic. Here, we introduced a bilateral surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-microneedle (MN) patch that incorporated Au hybrid mesoporous polydopamine-coated urchin Au/Ag (U@mP@Au) for analyzing glucose in interstitial fluid (ISF) and TB biomarker (ESAT-6/CFP-10) in sputum toward the co-detection of TB-DM comorbidity. The feasibility of the bilateral SERS-MN patch was demonstrated in ex vivo artificial skin, in vivo mouse models, and trials of recruiting patients. In the clinical assessment, DM patients (N = 18) and healthy subjects (N = 3) were classified with satisfactory sensitivity (88.9%) and specificity (100%), among which one DM positive sample (P11) with TB infection was successfully identified. Results revealed the sensitivity (87.5%) and specificity (90.9%) of SERS-MN array for TB diagnosis (N = 33), which were comparable to traditional clinical methods (smear, TST, and Xpert). More importantly, three TB-positive patients (P9, P15, and P20) showed abnormally elevated glucose levels, which is highly suggestive of TB-DM complication. This integrated dual-analyte detecting platform represented a significant step toward the cooperative diagnosis of TB-DM comorbidity, facilitating the early detection of complications by clinicians.
