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) in adolescents is distinct from both childhood and adult TB, particularly in terms of risk factors; however, national-level data assessing these factors in adolescents remain limited despite growing attention to the issue. This study aims to identify factors associated with TB among individuals aged 10 to 18 years.
methodsThis study leverages data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) conducted in India during the year 2019-2021. A total of 479,674 adolescents were included. We employ a generalized linear mixed-effects logistic regression model to examine the association between household, environmental, demographic and behavioral factors and self-reported TB status among adolescents.
resultsA total of 363 adolescents reported having TB. The results show that adolescents who are male (aOR = 0.735,
conclusionsUsing nationally representative NFHS data, this study identifies multiple household, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors associated with TB among adolescents in India. These findings highlight the need for targeted TB prevention strategies that address household conditions, socio-economic disparities, and adolescent health behaviors.
