[Compliance of latent tuberculosis infection treatment in a cohort of TB contacts].
Observational study in Revista espanola de salud publica, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveCompliance with the treatment of Latent Tuberculous Infection (ITL) is a determining factor in the control of tuberculosis. The objective of this study was to estimate the acceptance and compliance of the ITL treatment, and associated factors in contacts of patients with tuberculosis in Lleida.
methodsEpidemiological analytical observational study, of a retrospective cohort follow-up, since the 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2016. The Participants were contacts of patients with tuberculosis in Lleida. Variables of the index case and independent and dependent variables (acceptance and compliance of the treatment) of contacts were studied through univariate and bivariate analysis. The strength of association was studied with odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (IC) of 95% they were adjusted by a multivariate regression model.
results69.1% of tuberculosis cases had a contact study, and 47.5% had at least one contact with prescription of preventive treatment. The treatment was accepted by 94.5% of contacts, and only 70.3% finalized this treatment. The completion was more frequent in patients who knew the meaning of latent tuberculosis infection treatment (ORa: 2.0; CI: 95% 1.0-4.1).
