[Epidemiological profile of tuberculosis in a challenging security context (2021-2023): Centre-Est region, Burkina Faso].

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
Introduction: tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in Burkina Faso. In the Centre-Est region, the deteriorating security situation hinders access to care and complicates control efforts. This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of cases recorded between 2021 and 2023 in this region. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using data from nine tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment centers (CDTs). The sampling was exhaustive and included all new cases and relapses recorded from January 1 Results: a total of 1,581 cases of tuberculosis were recorded, 92.6% of which were new cases. The median age of patients was 31 years (IQR: 22-44; range: 1 to 90 years). The 25-34 age group accounted for 27.8% of cases. The sex ratio was 3.8 in favor of men (79.2%). Gold miners (31.8%) and farmers (27.6%) were the most represented occupational groups. Pulmonary tuberculosis accounted for 87.9% of cases, of which 66.9% were bacteriologically confirmed. The overall treatment success rate was 78.3%, and the case fatality rate was 9.1%. Conclusion: tuberculosis in the Central-East region mainly affects young working adults, particularly gold miners and farmers. In a fragile security context, mobile strategies.
