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
Brazil is one of the 30 countries with the highest incidence of tuberculosis (TB) and homeless people (HP) have 56 times more risk for illness than the general population, due to lower income and access to health. This study aimed to present the sociodemographic and epidemiological profile of HP notified for TB from 2015 to 2019 in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro and to analyze relationships between the variables studied and TB outcomes. This is a cross-sectional study with secondary data on TB notifications in HP in the period and place of the study. Descriptive analysis was performed, followed by analysis of the association between selected variables and TB outcomes with chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression to obtain the odds ratio (OR). The profile of HP with TB is men (74.9%), blacks (76.2%), with a mean age of 43.3 years (SD = 12.0), aged from 30 to 59 years (78.5%). The most frequent outcome was treatment withdrawal (43.3%), followed by cure (29.9%), and death (3.6%). The analyses showed that black individuals (OR = 1.4; 95%CI: 1.1-1.9), drug (OR = 1.7; 95%CI: 1.3-2.3) and alcohol use (OR = 1.3; 95%CI: 1.0-1.7) were risk factors for treatment withdrawal and that age groups older than 30 years or older (OR = 0.7; 95%CI: 0.5-0.9) and the extrapulmonary form (OR = 0.2; 95%CI: 0.1-0.6) were protective factors. The vulnerability of the HP is particularized in racial and gender profiles, as well as TB, thus reinforcing effective prevention and treatment actions is necessary to increase access to health services and the fight against TB in this context. And pay attention to the high proportion of incomplete data that limit the analyses for this problem.
