Determinants of tuberculosis in the prison population in Catalonia.

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: Describe the characteristics of inmates who have or have had tuberculosis (TB) and identify associated factors. Material and method: An observational, prospective, multicenter, population-based study was carried out on patients admitted to the nine prisons in Catalonia between March 1 and June 30, 2023. The patient's history of TB was assessed, and the presence of current TB was confirmed/ruled out. In TB cases, predictor variables were studied using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, calculating the risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: There were 1,679 admissions, 2.3% with previous TB and 1 with TB detected at screening. TB cases were older (45.1 Discussion: 2.3% had or had previously had tuberculosis. Therefore, it is essential to carry out tuberculosis screening upon admission to detect new cases or exacerbations and prevent TB transmission in an enclosed environment. Previous tuberculosis was more common in older adults, Asians, and those without shelter or housing; such groups require special follow-up.
