Tuberculosis in Saharia Tribe (a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group) of India: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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
backgroundTuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge in India, particularly among vulnerable populations. The Saharia tribe, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), faces a disproportionately high TB burden. This study aimed to systematically review and quantify the TB burden among the Saharia tribe through meta-analysis.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Studies reporting TB prevalence in the Saharia tribe were included. The quality of included studies was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled TB prevalence. Heterogeneity was assessed using I
resultsEight studies encompassing 163,562 Saharia individuals were included. The pooled TB prevalence was 2,416 per 100,000 population (95% CI: 1,827-3,004 per 100,000). Significant heterogeneity was observed (I
conclusionThis meta-analysis reveals an alarmingly high TB prevalence among the Saharia tribe, far exceeding the national average. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions, improved healthcare access, and culturally sensitive TB control programs for this vulnerable population.
