Comparative Analysis of Tuberculosis Patterns in Migrant and Local Communities Across Türkiye.

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
Objective: This study investigates changes in tuberculosis incidence among migrant and local populations in the Kayseri and Adana regions of central and southern Türkiye, compared to the pre-migration period. Materials and Methods: This multicenter retrospective study analyzed data from patients hospitalized for tuberculosis at three regional tertiary care hospitals from May 2011 to April 2024. The study identified whether patients were migrants or non-migrants, assessed their immunosuppressive status, drug resistance, and the sites of tuberculosis involvement. Results: The study included 280 participants, comprising 55 migrants and 225 non-migrants. Among migrants, males (92.7%) represented a significantly higher proportion compared to non-migrants (p<0.001). Immunosuppression was also more prevalent in migrants (p<0.001). The cavitation rate in pulmonary tuberculosis was 50.9% in migrants and 28.9% in non-migrants (p=0.002). Migrants also exhibited a higher incidence of positive tuberculosis (TB) cultures. The rates of drug resistance were similar between the two groups, showing no increase from the pre-migration data. However, the frequency of drug resistance testing was lower than the national average. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that an immunosuppressive condition significantly increased the risk of mortality (odds ratio [OR]=3.681). Conclusion: The study highlights a higher prevalence of immunosuppression and cavitation in pulmonary TB among migrants. Tuberculosis cases among refugees have increased significantly since 2011, although drug resistance rates have not. Areas with more widespread drug resistance testing requires further studies.
