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
This study aimed to assess the association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) before initiating renal replacement therapy (RRT) in Taiwan.Total 16,052 subjects newly diagnosed with CKD between 2000 and 2012 were included in the CKD group, and 31,949 randomly selected subjects who did not have CKD formed the non-CKD group. Subjects with a history of pulmonary TB or RRT, including dialysis and renal transplantation, before the index date were excluded. We determined the incidence of pulmonary TB at the end of 2013. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the risk of developing pulmonary TB associated with CKD.The overall incidence of pulmonary TB was 1.47-fold greater in the CKD group compared to that in the non-CKD group (4.94 vs 3.35 per 1000 person-years, 95% CI 1.39, 1.56). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that the adjusted HR of pulmonary TB was 1.45-fold higher in the CKD group (95% CI 1.27, 1.64) than in the non-CKD group. Male sex (adjusted HR 2.04), age (increase per one year, adjusted HR 1.05), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (adjusted HR 1.54), and diabetes mellitus (adjusted HR 1.34) were also associated with pulmonary TB.CKD is associated with an increased risk of developing pulmonary TB before the initiation of RRT.
