Optimized anti-tuberculosis duration for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis-diabetes mellitus comorbidities: study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe coexistence of tuberculosis (TB) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) presents unique challenges in treatment optimization and management, given the mutual exacerbation of disease processes.
objectiveThis multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different treatment durations (6-month versus 9-month regimens) regimen for patients with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis (DS-PTB) and concurrent type 2 diabetes (DM).
methodsPatients with DS-PTB and type-2 DM from 22 hospitals in China are enrolled. They are randomized in a 1:1 ratio into either the 6-month regimen arm(2HRZE/4HR) or the 9-month regimen arm(2HRZE/7HR). At the end of the intensive phase (the 8th week), patients in both arms who with sputum positive smear will extent one more month of intensive treatment. The primary outcome is the proportion of unfavorable outcomes at 24 months after randomization. Secondary outcomes include treatment success rate at the end of treatment, proportion of recurrence at 24 months after randomization, time to recurrence after treatment completion, proportion of intensive phrase extension, occurrence of adverse events grade 3 or above during treatment. DISCUSSION: The study focuses on assessing the optimal treatment duration to maximize treatment success while minimizing recurrence and adverse events. The trial is expected to provide vital insights into the appropriate treatment duration for patients with TB-DM, aiming to reduce recurrence rates and improve overall treatment outcomes in this vulnerable population.
