National Active Case-Finding Program for Tuberculosis in Prisons, Peru, 2024.
Article in Emerging infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
During January-September 2024, a national active case-finding program in Peru's prisons screened >38,000 persons for tuberculosis (TB) using chest radiography with automated interpretation and rapid molecular tests. The program found high percentages of TB, rifampin-resistant TB, and asymptomatic infections, demonstrating the urgent need for systematic screening among incarcerated populations.
