Implementing quality improvement in tuberculosis programming: Lessons learned from the global HIV response.
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The quality of care and treatment for tuberculosis (TB) is a major barrier in global efforts to end TB as a global health emergency. Despite a growing recognition of the need to measure, assure, and improve quality of TB services, implementation of quality improvement (QI) activities remains limited. Applying principles of systems thinking, continuous measurement, and root cause analysis, QI represents a proven approach for identifying and addressing performance gaps in healthcare delivery, with demonstrated success in low- and middle-income settings in the areas of HIV/AIDS, maternal, newborn, and child health, and infection control, among others. Drawing from lessons learned in the development of QI programming as part of the global response to HIV, we review key enablers to implementation that may assist NTPs in turning aspirations of high-quality service delivery into action. Under the umbrella of a formal quality management (QM) program, NTPs' attention to planning and coordination, commitment to tracking key processes of care, investment in QI capacity building, and integration of TB QI activities within efforts to advance universal health coverage provide a framework to sustainably implement QI activities.
