Asymptomatic Tuberculosis: The Silent Face of the Disease Among Migrants and Refugees and the Challenges in Brazil.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 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
Historically, tuberculosis has been conceptualized in a binary manner as either tuberculosis infection or tuberculosis disease. However, emerging evidence supports the existence of a tuberculosis spectrum, which necessitates rethinking systematic screening approaches for early diagnosis. These spectrums include tuberculosis infection, incipient tuberculosis, and asymptomatic tuberculosis, all of which may precede the progression to tuberculosis symptomatic disease. Therefore, asymptomatic tuberculosis appears to be an important challenge to disease elimination, particularly among migrants and refugees, demanding early diagnosis and treatment to interrupt community transmission and prevent avoidable deaths. It may be important to consider adopting an active screening strategy that is sensitive to asymptomatic individuals.
