Tuberculosis among northern Manitoba First Nations, 2008-2012: program performance on- and off-reserve.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThe objectives of this study were to: (1) report tuberculosis (TB) program performance for northern First Nations in the province of Manitoba; (2) present methods for TB program performance measurement using routinely collected surveillance data; and (3) advance dialogue on performance measurement of Canadian TB programs.
methodsData on a retrospective cohort of people diagnosed with TB in Manitoba between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010, and their contacts, were extracted from the Manitoba TB Registry. Performance measures based on US-CDC were analyzed. Adjusted probability ratios (aPR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported with comparisons between on-/off-reserve First Nations, adjusted for age, sex, and treatment history.
resultsA cohort of n = 149 people diagnosed with TB and n = 3560 contacts were identified. Comparisons off-/on-reserve: Treatment completion (aPR = 1.03; 95% CI 0.995-1.07); early detection (aPR = 0.87; 95% CI 0.57-1.33); HIV testing and reporting (aPR = 0.42; 95% CI 0.21-0.83); pediatric TB (age < 15 years) (aPR = 1.20; 95% CI 0.47-3.06); retreatment for TB (aPR = 0.93; 95% CI 0.89-0.97); contact elicitation (aPR = 0.94; 95% CI 0.84-1.05); contact assessment (aPR = 0.69; 95% CI 0.50-0.94). Pediatric (ages < 15 years) TB incidence in northern Manitoba was 37.1 per 100,000/year.
conclusionTB program performance varies depending on residence in a reserve or non-reserve community. Action is urgently needed to address TB program performance in terms of contact investigation and HIV testing/reporting for First Nations off-reserve and to address high rates of pediatric TB in northern Manitoba. First Nations collaboration and models of care should be considered both on- and off-reserve to improve TB program performance.
