A multinational Delphi consensus on tuberculosis screening of migrants in Europe.

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
The disproportionate burden of tuberculosis among migrants in the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region underscores the urgent need to address the public health challenges associated with global migration. Recommendations for screening of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and TB infection (TBI) are highly variable across European countries, highlighting the need for standardised practices and coordinated efforts to reduce TB risk more effectively. This study aims to produce a harmonised set of recommendations to contribute to elaboration for policy action using the Delphi method. It brings together a multidisciplinary panel of 33 TB experts from academia, healthcare, non-governmental organisations and government agencies across 22 countries to formulate consensus-based recommendations. The panel created 19 consensus statements and 36 recommendations for governments, health systems and other stakeholders. The recommendations span four key domains: 1) policy, 2) health systems and health professionals, 3) screening procedures and priority populations and 4) continued treatment and care. This study recommends a unified, evidence-based approach to TB screening in migrants, with free access to diagnosis and treatment, culturally sensitive care, use of digital tools and coordinated efforts across health systems to ensure effective and equitable TB control in Europe. Thus, the experts emphasised key recommendations that strike a balance between immediate health system interventions, screening procedures and cultural inclusivity to more effectively address TB among migrants. The findings of this study offer actionable policies to address gaps and weaknesses in Europe's response to tuberculosis among migrants, advancing efforts to eliminate TB as a public health threat.
