Effect of a hospital-based case management approach on treatment outcome of patients with tuberculosis.
Article in Journal of the Formosan Medical Association = Taiwan yi zhi, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02129244 (A Nurse Case Management Intervention to Improve MDR-TB/HIV Co-Infection Outcomes), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
background/purposeTuberculosis (TB) continues to pose a heavy public health burden in Taiwan. This prospective study analyzed the factors influencing treatment outcome in patients with TB treated with and without a hospital-based case management (HBCM) approach in a referral center in Taipei.
methodsA register-based cohort study design was used to enroll all new cases of pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB from February 2003 to January 2004. The case manager served as the coordinator among patients, physicians and public health nurses, to facilitate compliance with anti-TB treatment. Treatment outcomes were assessed according to the consensus recommendations of the World Health Organization and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.
resultsSuspected or confirmed pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB was diagnosed in 524 patients in our hospital from February 2003 to January 2004. Fifty-two of these patients were excluded due to duplicate reporting, previous treatment or death before enrollment. Out of 472 patients enrolled, 103 whose original diagnosis was revised were further excluded, leaving 369 cases eligible for analysis. Patients with case management had a significantly higher rate of successful treatment (cured plus completed treatment) compared to patients without case management, (240/277, 86.6% vs. 67/92, 72.8%; p = 0.002). The overall successful treatment rate including both case and non-case management was 83.2% (307/369), which was higher than the nationwide surveillance data of 78.3% in 2002 and 69.4% in 2003.
conclusionTreatment of TB patients by a HBCM approach provides improved treatment outcomes compared to those without case management.
