Epidemiology and Prevention of Tuberculosis and Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in the United States.
Review in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Tuberculosis (TB) and chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection can be prevented with treatment and vaccination, respectively. We reviewed epidemiology and guidelines for TB and CHB to inform strategies for reducing United States (U.S.) burden of both infections. Non-U.S.-born, compared to U.S.-born, persons have a 15-, 6-, and 8-fold higher TB incidence and latent TB infection (LTBI) and CHB prevalence, respectively; all infections disproportionately impact non-U.S.-born Asians. TB and CHB each are associated with ~ 10% mortality that results in 7- and 14-years per life lost, respectively. LTBI and CHB have significant gaps in their care cascade as 40% of LTBI and 20% of CHB patients are diagnosed, and 20% of LTBI and CHB diagnosed patients receive treatment. Reducing TB and CHB burden will require healthcare provider-, system-, and policy-level interventions, and increased funding and collaboration between public health departments and healthcare systems.Institutional Review Board Statement: Since this review article did not include primary data on patients and only focused on reviewing published data, approval by an institutional review board was not needed.
