Higher blood manganese level associated with increased risk of adult latent tuberculosis infection in the US population.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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: The associations between blood heavy metal levels and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between blood heavy metal levels and LTBI in adults using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2011 to 2012. Methods: We enrolled 1710 participants in this study, and compared the baseline characteristics of participants involved. Multivariate logistic regression analysis, restricted cubic splines (RCS) analysis, along with subgroup analysis and interaction tests were utilized to explore the association between blood manganese (Mn) level and LTBI risk. Results: Participants with LTBI had higher blood Mn level compared to non-LTBI individuals ( Conclusion: Individuals with LTBI had higher blood Mn level compared to non-LTBI individuals, and higher blood Mn level associated with increased LTBI risk.
