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

backgroundEthiopia has adopted the World Health Organization recommendation for TB and HIV collaborative activities since 2004. These collaborative activities have been scaled up in a phased manner and covered large number of health facilities across the nation. However, there is scarcity of information on implementation of these collaborative activities in Ethiopia.

objectiveTo assess the status of implementation of TB and HIV collaborative activities in health facility settings of Ethiopia.

methodsA cross sectional study mainly quantitative supplemented by qualitative methods was undertaken from May 10 to July 10, 2014 in 132 selected health facilities. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20.

resultAbout 81% of the respondents in the selected health facilities reported the screening of People Living with HIV in care for TB at every follow up visit, whereas, only 28.7% of those health facilities reported the screening of PLWHIV for TB at enrolment to HIV chronic care. About half of the public health facilities assessed were not implementing Isoniazid Preventive Therapy and only 18.2% of eligible clients were getting this Preventive Therapy. Among the co-infected patients, 32% were not linked to chronic care services and 45.3% were not getting ART during TB treatment. On the other hand, about two thirds of the co-infected patients are getting the Cotrimoxazole Prophylaxis Therapy.

conclusionMost of anti-TB and HIV collaborative activities were not implemented as expected in the health facilities. Thus it needs integration from the ministry to the health facilities level in order to improve the collaborative activities.
