1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to examine the relationship between serum levels of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and LTBI in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this cross-sectional study, patients with type 2 diabetes were screened for LTBI using the QuantiFERON-TB (QFT) test. Of 543 patients screened for LTBI, 133 (24.5%) were QFT-positive. The QFT-positive patients had higher AhR levels than the QFT-negative patients (44.6 [interquartile range: 25.4-58.6] pg/mL vs. 37.8 [interquartile range: 17.4-55.0] pg/mL;
