1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Aims: This study aims to systematically compare the clinical characteristics of tuberculosis (TB) and nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) diseases in AIDS patients,and to identify independent predictors for differential diagnosis. Methods: Clinical data of AIDS patients co-infected with TB or NTM at Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center (January 2019 - January 2024) were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate comparisons were performed using Results: A total of 494 patients were included (AIDS/TB: 206, AIDS/NTM: 288). The predominant NTM species was Conclusions: While AIDS/TB and AIDS/NTM share many clinical similarities, the presence of miliary nodules, superficial lymphadenopathy, higher inflammatory markers (CRP, neutrophils), higher CD4+ count, and male gender favor TB. These findings can assist clinicians in differentiating the two infections when rapid microbiological results are unavailable. The high prevalence of
