Making the invisible visible: the current face of tuberculosis in Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Article in Cities & health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe the socioeconomic inequities among individuals with tuberculosis (TB) in metropolitan Detroit. Methods: We used data from the TB Social Survey to examine socioeconomic and demographic characteristics among individuals diagnosed with TB in one of three metropolitan Detroit health departments. We then examined mean levels of both economic disadvantage and socioeconomic instability across levels of race/ethnicity, nativity, and health department. Results: Sixty-seven percent of individuals with TB in Detroit City were non-Hispanic Black, compared to 27% and 25% in Oakland County and Wayne County (excluding Detroit), respectively. Non-Hispanic Blacks, U.S.-born individuals, and those living in Detroit City had higher mean levels of both economic disadvantage and socioeconomic instability compared to non-Hispanic Whites, foreign-born individuals and those living in Wayne (excluding Detroit City) or Oakland County. Conclusions: The findings from this study highlight the ways in which TB is distributed along lines of socioeconomic disadvantage. This suggests that enduring inequities in socioeconomic resources may be contributing to inequities in TB disease, a trend that is likely to continue with worsening socioeconomic disparities in the U.S.
