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) remains a major global health challenge, with transmission influenced by the incidence of contagious people with TB, the duration of infectivity, and the probability of contact with susceptible individuals. This review synthesizes recent evidence on established and emerging risk factors influencing TB transmission, particularly in light of global trends such as migration, urbanization, and demographic shifts, to guide future prevention and control strategies. This scoping review maps and synthesizes evidence from systematic reviews on risk factors for
methodsA preliminary general literature search was conducted in PubMed on 25 August 2024, using the keywords "tuberculosis," "risk factors," and "systematic review." A subsequent targeted search focused on systematic reviews published since 2000 that examined social and environmental determinants of exposure to
resultsOf the 344 systematic reviews identified, 14 met the eligibility criteria, reporting on key risk factors contributing to the incidence of contagious people with TB, the duration of infectivity, and the probability of contact. These risk factors included homelessness, migration, occupational exposure, urbanization, climate change, and air pollution. The findings emphasize the complex interrelated role of social and environmental determinants in driving TB transmission.
conclusionThis review highlights the need for a multi-sectoral approach to TB, as climate change, air pollution, overcrowding, stigma, and limited healthcare access exacerbate established risks related to poverty. Effective prevention and control require targeted interventions that address these interconnected factors.
