Drug resistance pulmonary tuberculosis among prisoners in Ethiopia: A systematic review and
Review in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a severe public health issue in prison inmates in Ethiopia since there is no routine screening for TB during prison admission. Also, drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a significant public health problem. Prisons are the most important permissive environments for TB transmission. However, less attention has been given to this segment of the population. Ethiopia's condition is worse because of poor living circumstances and inefficient health care in the prisons. Objective: The study determined the pooled prevalence of DR-TB among prisoners in Ethiopia. Methods: A systematic search was conducted to retrieve records from databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. The search did not entail a lower time limit, and articles published up until January 2024 were considered. This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The data were extracted using a standardized data extraction format. Meta-analysis was computed using STATA version 16 software. Heterogeneity was assessed by the I^2 and publication bias through a funnel plot. The random-effects Results: Out of 338 records, six cross-sectional studies with 3277 study participants were included in this systematic review and Conclusion: This systematic review and
