Cardiometabolic Biomarkers and Systemic Inflammation in US Adolescents and Young Adults With Latent Tuberculosis Infection: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Methods: Peripubescent adolescents (12-15 years old) and older adolescents/young adults (16-30 years old) were assessed for LTBI by tuberculin skin testing (induration ≥10 mm). Outcomes included fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A Results: Seventy-five LTBI cases were matched to 300 peers who were TB uninfected. Among older participants, LTBI was associated with higher inflammation (adjusted median [IQR]: C-reactive protein, 0.22 mg/dL [0.05-0.34] vs 0.11 [0.04-0.35], Conclusions: Older adolescents and young adults with LTBI had higher inflammation than those without LTBI, while cardiometabolic profiles were similar. Unlike that in adults,
