Tuberculosis care: enhancing directly observed therapy in a peri-urban, low socioeconomic status neighbourhood.
Article in Singapore medical journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04055441 (A Study of Pattern of Presentation of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients Undergoing Treatment at Assiut University Hospital), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health issue in the Philippines. TB-Care was introduced in 2011 to tackle pulmonary TB among the urban poor in Payatas, Quezon City, Philippines. We evaluated the efficacy of TB-Care in increasing treatment success and compliance rates. This retrospective case series reviewed 44 patients with pulmonary TB enrolled in TB-Care from 2013 to 2014. Diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary TB was made in accordance with World Health Organization guidelines. Treatment outcomes included cure, completed treatment, successfully treated, failed treatment and transferred to another facility. 14 (73.7%) out of 19 patients tested were bacteriologically cured. The average 100% compliance rate was 90.8% over six months. The programme successfully treated 39 (88.6%) patients. This was comparable to the overall national treatment success rate of 90% for Philippines and 79% for Singapore, with higher compliance rates than were previously reported in this community.
