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
Objectives: Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne infectious disease transmitted through droplets from coughing or sneezing. The risk of Methods: From 2016 to 2024, the epidemiological information and molecular epidemiological characteristics of 20 suspected cases of household transmission involving 43 individuals were analyzed following their identification through investigations. Spoligotyping and 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat were used for TB genotyping. Results: Each case of suspected intrafamilial TB transmission involved 2-3 patients, including parent-child (15 cases), sibling (4 cases), and cohabitant (1 case) transmissions. At the time of index notification, 12 cases (60%) involved cohabitation, while 7 cases (35%) did not. The time difference between the index and additional case notifications ranged from 2 to 2,241 (average 291) days. The TB genotyping results confirmed molecular epidemiological links between each suspected case. Among the 20 cases, 5 cases (involving 10 individuals) presented drug-resistant TB, with 4 cases of multidrug-resistant TB and 1 of extensively drug-resistant TB. Drug resistance profiles were consistent within each case. Conclusions: Based on the TB genotyping and contact investigations, cases of TB transmission within the household appear to have epidemiological links. To support the national TB control efforts, we plan to continue molecular epidemiological analyses of household transmission and outbreak cases.
