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: Migrants are disproportionately affected by several infectious diseases differing the risk within migrant groups. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of six chronic infections in asymptomatic migrants attended at primary care or specialized units where health assessments are offered. Methods: A multicentric cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B and C virus, Results: Of the 314 recruited migrants, 284 (90.4 %) were tested for at least one infection. The prevalence of the infections was as follows: 1.8 % for HIV, 1.8 % for chronic hepatitis B virus, 14.1 % for previous exposure to a hepatitis B virus infection, 0.4 % for hepatitis C virus infection, 2.6 % for Conclusion: Findings suggest a high burden of the studied infections, including parasitic infections, in the migrant population with variations within migrant groups based on areas of birth.
