Opportunities for community health workers to contribute to global efforts to end tuberculosis.
Review in Global public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
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
Tuberculosis (TB) has emerged as the leading infectious cause of death globally. New paradigms are needed to reduce TB rates and mortality. Programs harnessing the potential of community health workers (CHWs) to enhance TB prevention and care have shown great promise. In this perspective article, we review the history of CHW-based efforts to prevent and treat TB, present evidence illustrating the effectiveness of CHWs across the entire cascade of TB care, and outline additional opportunities for CHWs to address challenges particular to the TB pandemic. Despite many promising studies, knowledge gaps persist and we suggest an agenda for future research on the role of CHWs in TB prevention and care.
