Bone graft tuberculosis outbreak in USA: Is it a concern in India?
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Globally, 25% of the population is infected with tuberculosis, which poses a leading cause of death worldwide. The transmission of tuberculosis (TB) during organ transplant is reported in the literature whereas only one report has been published on the transmission of TB, during bone allograft transplantation. In the US, in May 2021, an outbreak of TB occurred in patients undergoing spine surgery with bone allograft. This bone graft was retrieved from 80 years deceased donor with latent TB, which was not diagnosed earlier. The recipients were started with a long course of anti-tuberculous drugs. This review narrates the pathway of TB spread among transplant recipients and the strategies to be followed while performing organ or tissue transplantation.
