1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Tuberculosis (TB) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, which is caused by a single infectious agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis. For years, many TB control programmes are established for effective diagnosis and treatment of active TB cases, but these approaches alone are insufficient for TB eradication. This review aims to discourse on the crucial management of latent tuberculosis infection. This review will first summarize the current status, and methods for diagnosing latent tuberculosis then describes the challenges involved in the diagnosis and treatment of latent tuberculosis, and finally encounters the purpose of biomarkers as predicting tool in latent tuberculosis.
