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

backgroundTuberculosis (TB) leads to a considerable loss of lung functions and Quality Adjusted Life Years. Several factors are associated with adverse treatment outcomes from TB which further increases this loss. We undertook the study to study the determinants of adverse treatment outcomes among tuberculosis patients treated under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program in a tuberculosis unit in India.

methods88 cases and 187 controls from among patients registered in Wardha Tuberculosis Unit in the year 2014 were interviewed to study the determinants of adverse treatment outcomes of tuberculosis. All patients with adverse treatment outcomes were taken as cases. Controls were chosen from relapse free successfully treated patients using simple random sampling.

resultsOn multivariate analysis indoor air pollution, pulmonary TB, discrimination due to TB and poor satisfaction with services significantly increased the odds of adverse treatment outcomes whereas the senior treatment supervisor visiting the patients during treatment was protective.

conclusionAppropriate new interventions and strengthening of the existing mechanisms to reduce treatment interruptions along with proper implementation of the program will help in reducing the adverse treatment outcomes and improving program performance.
