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

backgroundTransmission of

methodsIn a cross-sectional study from Kampala, Uganda, we estimated the prevalence of tuberculous infection (TBI) in social contacts of adult TB cases according to the setting and relationship domains of the contact score. We calculated the prevalence ratio (PR) for the association between contact scores (by domain) with TBI using modified Poisson regression models.

resultsWe enrolled 955 household and community contacts from 119 TB cases. The prevalence of TBI in the social network was 52% (95% CI 48-55). The prevalence of TBI increased by quartile for both the setting score (44%, 40%, 53%, 70%;

conclusionIn urban Africa, contacts of TB with higher settings and relationship scores were more likely infected with
