Proportion of extrapulmonary sites of TB per WHO region (n = the number of studies per region).
The circle diameter is proportional to the number of patients included in the study. The diamond represents the median proportion of the respective region. *significant differences exists only between the WHO regions America and Western Pacific (two sample Wilcoxon signed rank test, n = 10, W = 21, p = 0.017).
