Long-Term Mortality of Tuberculosis Survivors in Korea: A Population-based Longitudinal Study.

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
backgroundWhen assessing long-term tuberculosis (TB) mortality, few studies addressed the impact of behavior habits and socioeconomic status. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate long-term TB mortality and risk factors while accounting for potential confounders.
methodsThis cohort study included TB survivors (n = 82 098) aged ≥20 years between 2010 and 2017, and 1:1 age- and sex-matched controls (n = 82 098). The participants were followed up for death 1 year after study enrollment until December 2018. Long-term mortality was adjusted for behavior habits (smoking, alcohol consumption, or exercise), income level, body mass index (BMI), and comorbidities.
resultsDuring a median of 3.7 years of follow-up, the incidence rate of mortality was significantly higher in TB survivors than those in the matched controls (18.2 vs. 8.8 per 1000 person-years, P < .001). Even after adjusting for potential confounders, the mortality risk was 1.62-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.54-1.70) higher in TB survivors than those in the matched controls. In addition, the hazard of mortality in TB survivors relative to matched controls significantly increased in participants aged ≥30 years, with the highest risk in those in their 40s. Male sex (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 2.31; 95% CI, 2.16-2.47), smoking pack-years (HR: 1.005; 95% CI, 1.004-1.006), heavy alcohol consumption (HR: 1.12; 95% CI, 1.01-1.23), and lowest income (HR: 1.27; 95% CI, 1.18-1.37) were positively associated with increased hazards for mortality, whereas higher BMI (HR: 0.91; 95% CI, .90-.92) and regular exercise (HR: 0.82; 95% CI, .76-.88) reduced the hazards of long-term mortality in TB survivors.
conclusionsThe long-term mortality risk was significantly higher in TB survivors than those in the matched controls, even after adjusting for potential confounders.
