Prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection among prison officers in Paraná, Brazil: a longitudinal study.
Article in Revista espanola de sanidad penitenciaria. 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
Objectives: To evaluate the baseline prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and longitudinal changes in interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) positivity among male and female prison officers in Paraná, Brazil. Material and method: A longitudinal study was conducted with prison officers in direct contact with inmates. LTBI was diagnosed using the QuantiFERON-TB Results: The proportion of IGRA-positive individuals decreased from 22.6% in 2022 to 5.7% in 2024. However, increases were observed in cigarette consumption, alcohol use, and daily consumption of medications. Discussion: The findings highlight the importance of periodic monitoring of latent tuberculosis infection and strengthening occupational health promotion strategies for prison officers.
