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

Directly observed therapy (DOT) for monitoring tuberculosis (TB) treatment is intended to reduce disease transmission, mortality and acquired drug resistance by facilitating treatment adherence and support. Synchronous (S-VOT) and asynchronous (A-VOT) video observed therapy are mHealth solutions for remotely monitoring medication ingestion. This paper synthesizes literature through December 2018 to describe existing VOT approaches, summarize evidence, identify knowledge gaps, evaluate VOT strengths and weaknesses, and examine patient and provider factors influencing VOT feasibility and acceptability. High rates of adherence and patient acceptance were obtained using both VOT methods. VOT reduced travel time for TB program staff and/or patients, improving program efficiency compared to in-person DOT while maintaining high patient satisfaction. The impact of VOT on TB treatment outcomes, such as cure and relapse, require further study with longer follow-up. Individual patient, provider and program factors should be considered in selecting either or both VOT approaches for provision of patient-centered care.
