Enhanced Rapid Screening for Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis through combined cardiometabolic and inflammatory indices: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remains a global public health challenge. We aimed to investigate the utility of combining the cardiometabolic index (CMI) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) as biomarkers for rapid MDR-TB screening. Data were collected from 2,620 TB patients in Zibo city from 2018 to 2021. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to evaluate the associations and diagnostic performance of CMI and SIRI with MDR-TB. The prevalence of MDR-TB was 5.0% in new TB patients and 20.5% in recurrent TB patients. Both CMI and SIRI were significantly associated with MDR-TB in all models (P < 0.05). In new TB patients, the area under the curve (AUC) values of the ROC curves for SIRI, CMI, and their combination were 0.845, 0.806, and 0.910, respectively. In recurrent TB patients, the AUC values were 0.730, 0.875, and 0.902, respectively. The optimal cut-off points for SIRI and CMI were 0.72 and 1.81 in new TB patients, and 1.05 and 1.48 in recurrent TB patients, respectively. In conclusion, combining CMI and SIRI shows promise as a low-invasive, cost-effective tool for early MDR-TB screening, warranting further validation in diverse populations and TB subtypes.
