Epidemiology of uveitis after tuberculosis in Taiwan - A nationwide population-based cohort study.

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
purposeCurrent reports on the risk of uveitis of all causes after tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis are lacking. Therefore, we sought to investigate the association between the diagnosis of TB and the subsequent risk of uveitis in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND
methodsData from the Taiwan National Health Insurance system were retrieved and patients with newly diagnosed TB between 2000 and 2012 were recruited. The endpoint of interest was the occurrence of uveitis. Patients without TB were randomly matched 4:1 to TB cases based on age, gender, index date, outpatient clinic visit, and index year. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional regression analyses were performed to analyze the risk of uveitis among TB patients.
resultsA total of 6139 patients with TB and corresponding 24,555 matched control participants were recruited. The mean age was 52.9 ± 22.1 years old and 32.1% were male. The medium follow-up period was 5.81 ± 4.37 years and 7.16 ± 3.95 years in the TB and matched control cohorts. Our results showed that patients with TB had no significantly increased incidence of uveitis. After stratification by gender, age, and comorbidities, the relationship between TB and uveitis was found to be not significant. The cumulative incidence of uveitis was also found to be not significantly higher among the TB group (log-rank
conclusionOur nationwide population-based cohort retrospective study showed that the incidence of uveitis was not significantly higher among patients with TB. Future prospective and multicenter studies are warranted to confirm our findings.
