Changes in Tuberculosis Disparities at a Time of Decreasing Tuberculosis Incidence in the United States, 1994-2016.
Article in American journal of public health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
objectivesTo assess national progress in reducing disparities in rates of tuberculosis (TB) disease, which disproportionately affects minorities.
methodsWe used Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveillance data and US Census data to calculate TB rates for 1994 through 2016 by race/ethnicity, national origin, and other TB risk factors. We assessed progress in reducing disparities with rate ratios (RRs) and indexes of disparity, defined as the average of the differences between subpopulation and all-population TB rates divided by the all-population rate.
resultsAlthough TB rates decreased for all subpopulations, RRs increased or stayed the same for all minorities compared with Whites. For racial/ethnic groups, indexes of disparity decreased from 1998 to 2008 (P < .001) but increased thereafter (P = .33). The index of disparity by national origin increased an average of 1.5% per year.
conclusionsAlthough TB rates have decreased, disparities have persisted and even increased for some populations. To address the problem, the CDC's Division of TB Elimination has focused on screening and treating latent TB infection, which is concentrated among minorities and is the precursor for more than 85% of TB cases in the United States.
