1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Approximately 25% of the global population is estimated to have latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), with a 5-10% lifetime risk of progression to active disease. Although interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) are widely used for LTBI diagnosis, their high cost and operational complexity limit large-scale implementation in resource-limited settings. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of a low-complexity, rapid, fluorescence-based point-of-care assay, ichroma IGRA-TB, for LTBI detection. A total of 300 participants enrolled at TB Screening and Treatment Centers and the Dhaka Hospital of icddr,b were categorized as healthy controls (
