Diagnosis of Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Hemodialysis Patients: TST versus T-SPOT.TB.

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
Hemodialysis (HD) patients should be screened for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection. We aimed to determine the frequency of latent TB infection in HD patients and to compare the effectiveness of the tests used. The files of 56 HD patients followed between 1 January 2021 and 1 October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, the presence of the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine, whether or not the patients had previously received treatment for TB before, the status of encountering a patient with active TB of patients over 18 years of age, without active tuberculosis and who had a T-SPOT.TB test or a Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) were obtained from the patient files. The presence of previous TB in a posterior-anterior (PA) chest X-ray was obtained by evaluating PA chest X-rays taken routinely. Of the patients, 60.7% (
