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
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with the treatment success rate (TSR) among patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among patients with MDR-TB treated at Soroti Regional Referral Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022. A total of 79 patients' files were reviewed, and information was filled in a data abstraction form on treatment success, which was defined as completion and cure after the treatment. A modified Poisson regression was conducted to identify the factors associated with the TSR, with a level of significance set at Results: The TSR was 87.3% (n = 69). Factors significantly associated with low TSR included undernutrition (body mass index <18.5 kg/m Conclusion: Our study identified a low TSR of 87.3% below the World Health Organization target of 90%, which was associated with having anemia and undernutrition. These findings highlight the need to integrate nutrition support and timely management of anemia through blood transfusion and iron supplementation to improve treatment outcomes for MDR-TB.
