Ethical challenges in the treatment of non-refugee migrants with tuberculosis in Canada.
Article in Journal of public health (Oxford, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
While attention to the ethical issues that migrants face in accessing tuberculosis care has increased in the last few years, most of the attention has focused on challenges that refugees face when emigrating. Less attention has been given to ethical challenges that arise in the context of providing tuberculosis treatment and care to non-refugee migrants in high-income countries (HIC), particularly those that do not face immediate danger or violence. In this paper, we analyze some of the ethical challenges associated with treating migrants with tuberculosis in the Canadian context. In particular, we will discuss (i) inter- and intra-jurisdictional issues that challenge quotidian public health governance structures, and (ii) the ethical imperative for the Canadian government and its provinces to clearly differentiate access to healthcare from a person's immigration status to help overcome power imbalances that may exist between public health workers and their clients. The arguments presented herein could potentially apply to other HIC with some form of universal health coverage.
