Work-related tuberculosis in non-hospital sectors: social security evidence and emerging risks.
Review in Revista brasileira de medicina do trabalho : publicacao oficial da Associacao Nacional de Medicina do Trabalho-ANAMT. 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
Introduction: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease of major public health concern. Although most studies focus on health care professionals, other economic sectors may also present conditions that favor transmission and illness. Objectives: To analyze the occurrence of work-related social security benefits granted for tuberculosis in Brazil and to review scientific evidence on economic activities and occupations associated with increased risk of infection, excluding health care professionals. Methods: This ecological study used publicly available data from the Brazilian National Institute of Social Security. Work-related temporary disability benefits (B91) granted from 2022 to 2024 and linked to codes A15 to A19 of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, were included. Results were described according to the number of benefits and the corresponding codes of the National Classification of Economic Activities. In parallel, a narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed and SciELO databases, including primary studies in Portuguese and English involving workers from different productive sectors. Results: A total of 115 B91 benefits due to tuberculosis were granted in 2022, 123 in 2023, and 65 in 2024. The literature identified increased tuberculosis risk among workers in cleaning, laundry, baking, construction, waste collection, sewage, textile manufacturing, and mining, associated with factors such as inadequate ventilation, silica exposure, unsanitary conditions, and social vulnerability. Conclusions: Work-related tuberculosis extends beyond the health care sector, affecting multiple productive sectors. Recognizing these exposures is essential to guide surveillance, inspection, and prevention measures aimed at reducing occupational tuberculosis.
