Identifying Gaps in Research on Infectious Diseases Among Migrants in Korea: Implications for Future Studies.

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
backgroundThe public health impact of infectious diseases among migrants is a growing concern. In this study, we aimed to examine Korean studies focused on infectious diseases among the migrant population in South Korea.
methodsWe searched PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for studies published between 2000 and 2024 that reported and provided quantitative data on infectious diseases in migrants in Korea.
resultsFive studies met the inclusion criteria, focusing on measles, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and tuberculosis (TB). The seroprevalence among migrants was 75.3% for measles, 70.1% for hepatitis A, and 60.4% for hepatitis B which were similar to that of the Korean population. However, migrants showed a higher burden of TB, with 28.1% testing positive for latent TB compared to 19.0% for the Korean population.
conclusionMigrants in Korea exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of latent TB compared to the native population, while their seropositivity rates for measles, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B are comparable to those of Koreans. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted screening and enhanced surveillance programs to monitor TB and other infectious diseases within this growing migrant population.
