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: Homeless individuals are at a high risk of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis Methods: A total of 5,600 homeless individuals were screened for PTB symptoms using WHO guideline between February 2019 and December 2020. Sputum samples were cultured from individuals with symptoms of PTB for mycobacterial isolation. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with PTB. Results: The prevalence of bacteriologically confirmed cases was 1.1% (59/5,600) or 10.54 per 1000 population. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that being homeless for more than 5 years, body mass index (BMI) < 18.5, smoking cigarette, living in a group of more than five individuals, close contact with chronic coughers, imprisonment and HIV infection were significantly associated with the prevalence of PTB in homeless individuals ( Conclusion: In conclusion, the result of this study indicated that the prevalence of PTB in homeless individuals was higher than the prevalence of PTB in the general population of Addis Ababa City requiring for the inclusion of the homeless individuals in the TB control program.
