Incidence of tuberculosis in the city of Cordoba and its relationship with areas in need of social transformation: a study from 2015 to 2021.
Observational study in Central European journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesIn 2022, about 17% of Andalusian population lived in disadvantaged areas, which accounted for 21% of tuberculosis (TB) cases. This concentration of cases resulted in TB rates in these areas being higher than both the regional and national averages. The aim of the present study was to understand the behaviour of TB in terms of person, time, and place in the city of Cordoba during the period 2015-2021 and its association with areas in need of social transformation (ANST).
methodsA retrospective observational analytical study was conducted on cases reported to the Andalusian Epidemiological Surveillance System (Spanish acronym SVEA). Membership in ANST was determined by the SVEA.
resultsA total of 136 cases were reported, with 26.5% in ANST. The incidence rate (IR) in the city was 5.97 cases per 100,000 population per year, higher in ANST (11.82) compared to non-ANST (5.06), RR = 2.34 (95% CI: 1.60-3.42). In 2020, fewer cases were reported (IR: 3.99). The mean age was 44.82 years, lower in ANST (38.08) than in non-ANST (47.25), with a p-value < 0.05. Hospitalizations were more frequent in ANST (78% vs. 68%, p = 0.3). In ANST, the IR was highest in men over 60 years old and lowest in women of the same age. No significant difference was found between the groups regarding risk factors, except for HIV status (p = 0.02).
conclusionsTB incidence rates in Andalusia vary by area of residence. To make better public health decisions, it is crucial to enhance the collection of socio-demographic and clinical data related to these cases.
