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

Introduction: Newer skin tests, including the ESAT6-CFP10 (EC) skin test, were recommended for diagnosing Methods: A cohort study at Nanjing Medical University screened incoming foreign freshmen. The EC skin test was used to assess for Results: Among 96 participants, Discussion: The EC skin test is safe, and redness diameter is a more reliable indicator than induration. Results should be collected within 48 to 72 hours, with verification at 72 hours crucial if initial results are negative. Importantly, skin color does not affect EC skin test outcomes.
