Tuberculosis trends in California correctional facilities, 1993-2013.
Article in The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundIncarcerated persons are disproportionately diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB). California has the second highest inmate population in the United States, but reports the highest number of cases.
objectiveTo describe the TB epidemiology among incarcerated patients in California.
methodsTrends in incidence were assessed using Poisson regression, and trends in percentage were assessed using weighted linear regression. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared using χ2 or Mann-Whitney U tests.
resultsDuring 1993-2013, of the 64 090 TB cases reported, 2323 (4%) were correctional facility residents. Incidence in correctional facilities decreased until 2006 (annual per cent change [APC] -12.3%, 95%CI -14.4 to -10.1), but has since stabilized (APC 4.4%, 95%CI -2.1 to 11.4). Compared with state prisoners, federal prisoners were more likely to be male (98%, P = 0.03), persons arriving in the United States within 5 years of diagnosis (62%, P < 0.001), and born in Mexico (88%, P = 0.02), whereas local jail inmates were more likely to have a history of substance use (75%, P < 0.001) and homelessness (35%, P < 0.001).
conclusionsTB incidence in correctional facilities had steadily declined over the last two decades, but has recently leveled out. To promote further reduction in incidence among diverse incarcerated populations, health departments and correctional facilities should strengthen collaboration by conducting TB risk-based assessments.
