Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) as a predictor of coronary artery disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: A converging epidemic of Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is observed over past two decades. LTBI is a state of persistent immune stimulation by Purpose: We aim to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate Latent TB infection as a predictor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: A systemic search was conducted on electronic databases (PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) from inception to 24 Results: Pooled analysis of four selected studies showed that patient with Latent TB infection significantly developed Coronary Artery Disease (OR = 2.15 [1.48, 3.12]; p < 0.0001; Conclusions: Latent TB infection can be a potential useful predictor for Coronary Artery Disease. However, there is need for further investigation on a greater number of studies before this can truly become clear.
