Trends in Bidirectional Screening and Treatment Outcomes for Tuberculosis/HIV Comorbidity - China, 2020-2024.

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: The comorbidity of tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) represents a persistent global public health challenge. This study examines the epidemiological trends of TB/HIV comorbidity in China during 2020-2024, extending previous analyses from the 2015-2019 period. Methods: We collected annual TB/HIV comorbidity surveillance data from 32 provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs) in China, encompassing bidirectional screening protocols, treatment initiation rates, and clinical outcomes. TB screening among people living with HIV (PLHIV) incorporated systematic symptom assessment and chest X-ray or sputum examination. HIV testing for TB patients employed standard serological methodologies. We performed statistical analyses and generated spatial distribution maps using R 4.2.1. Results: During 2020-2024, 5,970,062 PLHIV were registered nationwide, with TB examination coverage increasing significantly from 90.2% (957,844/1,061,665) to 94.3% (1,246,274/1,321,458) ( Conclusions: Although bidirectional screening coverage has improved, substantial regional disparities persist alongside concerning trends of declining treatment success rates and increasing mortality. Enhanced implementation of efficient diagnostic technologies, optimized treatment protocols, and comprehensive stigma reduction initiatives are essential to improve survival outcomes for TB/HIV comorbid patients.
