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
In this study, we report an investigation of a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in a high school in China. Eleven students with active TB were identified. A culture-negative 17-year-old girl was considered as index case affected by pulmonary and meningeal TB. Screening results indicated latent TB in 32.8% of the students in the classroom of index case, whereas a significantly decreased prevalence of TB infection was found among students on the same floor, ranging from 1.3 to 8.2%. Genotyping revealed that all the
