Risk of malignant lymphoma in patients with previous tuberculosis infection: a cohort study.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Tuberculosis (TB) is associated with chronic inflammation, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies, including lung cancer. However, the relationship between TB and hematological malignancies like lymphoma remains less understood. This study aimed to investigate risks of incident malignant lymphoma according to previous TB infection in a large prospective cohort of 347,204 individuals. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to predict the probability of malignant lymphoma. Propensity score matching was employed to compare the incidence of lymphoma in individuals with and without previous TB infection. Among the overall population, 3.7% (12,694) reported previous history of TB. There was a significantly increased risk of lymphoma in individuals with a TB history, with an odds ratio of 2.14 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.35-3.39, p = 0.001) and a hazard ratio of 2.13 (95% CI, 1.13-4.00; p = 0.019) in propensity-matched analyses. These findings underscore TB infection as a potential precursor to lymphoma, probably due to prolonged inflammatory and immune dysregulation. The study highlights the importance of considering a TB history in the risk assessment for lymphoma, emphasizing the need for vigilant clinical monitoring in population with high TB burden.
