Alcohol Consumption of Male Tuberculosis Index Cases and Tuberculosis Transmission Among Social Contacts in Puducherry, India: A Cross-Sectional Analytical Study.

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
We aimed to compare the proportion of tuberculosis infection among social contacts of male tuberculosis Index case with and without alcohol use in the Puducherry district. A cross-sectional study using ego-centric approach was conducted between November 2023 and May 2024. A total of 713 social contacts of 106 male pulmonary tuberculosis index cases were enrolled, stratified by alcohol-use (AUDIT ≥ 8): 358 contacts from 45 alcohol-using cases and 355 from 61 non-alcohol-use cases. Social contacts were defined based on the frequency and duration of shared indoor exposure with index cases within the past three months. Tuberculosis infection was screened with Cy-Tb skin test (≥5 mm induration) at the third month of index case treatment. Univariate and multivariable analysis were conducted to identify factors associated with tuberculosis transmission. Among the 358 social contacts of alcohol-use index cases, 33.8% (
