Dynamics of Body Mass Index and Serum Albumin Levels Before and After the Intensive Phase of Tuberculosis Treatment.
Observational study in F1000Research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Tuberculosis remains a major global health problem and is frequently associated with malnutrition, which can negatively affect treatment outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate changes in body mass index (BMI) and serum albumin levels before and after the intensive phase of tuberculosis treatment. Methods: An observational analytic study with a prospective cohort design was conducted at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar. A total of 175 newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients were enrolled. BMI and serum albumin levels were measured at baseline and after completion of the two-month intensive treatment phase. Paired sample Results: BMI increased significantly from 19.21 ± 3.55 kg/m Conclusions: Intensive-phase anti-tuberculosis therapy is associated with significant improvements in both anthropometric and biochemical nutritional parameters. Routine monitoring of BMI and serum albumin may serve as practical indicators for assessing treatment response and guiding nutritional interventions in tuberculosis patients.
