[Prevalence of tuberculosis in incarcerated populations: systematic review and meta-analysisPrevalencia de tuberculosis en la población privada de libertad: revisión sistemática y metanálisis].
Review in Revista panamericana de salud publica = Pan American journal of public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo estimate the prevalence of tuberculosis among incarcerated populations.
methodA systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. The MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO, and LILACS databases were searched for articles published from January 1997 to December 2016. The following search terms were used: ("tuberculosis"[MeSH] OR "tuberculosis"[TIAB]) AND ("prisons"[MeSH] OR "prisons"[TIAB]); or ("tuberculose" [DeCS] OU "tuberculose" [palavras] E "prisões" [DeCS] OU "prisões" [palavras]). The primary outcome was the prevalence of tuberculosis with 95% confidence interval (95%CI). In the metanalysis, variables associated with tuberculosis prevalence in incarcerated populations in the univariate analysis (
resultsBased on the 29 studies included in the metanalysis, 2,163 prisoners with tuberculosis were identified. The combined prevalence of tuberculosis among prisoners was 2% (95%CI: 0.02-0.02). The prevalence among prisoners from countries with tuberculosis prevalence of 0-24 per 100,000 general population was below 1% (95%CI = 0.00-0.00). In countries with overall tuberculosis prevalence of 25-99/100,000, the estimate among prisoners was 3% (95%CI = 0.02-0.04); and in countries with overall prevalence ≥ 300/100 thousand, the estimated prevalence among prisoners was 8% (95%CI = 0.05-0.11).
conclusionThe present results support the notion of a high prevalence of tuberculosis among incarcerated populations worldwide. The results also show a link between the prevalence of tuberculosis in the general and the prevalence of tuberculosis in prisons.
