Rapid TB diagnostic service and community action to FIND.TREAT.ALL#EndTB, Maputo, Mozambique, 2013-2018.

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
Finding and treating all tuberculosis (TB) patients is crucial for ending TB. We investigated whether rapid diagnostic turnaround time (TAT) and patient tracking could increase TB treatment initiation in Maputo, Mozambique. Among 3329 TB patients newly diagnosed by the University Eduardo Mondlane-Anti-Persoonsmijnen Ontmijnende Product Ontwikkeling/Anti-Personnel Landmines Detection Product Development (APOPO) Laboratory between 2013 and 2018, on average 61% were verifiably linked to care. This proportion increased from 54% (first half 2013) to 79% (second half 2018) after introducing a 24-hour TAT in 2015 and patient tracking conducted by a community-based partner, Associação Kenguelekezé, in 2017. Rapid, well-connected TB diagnostic services can reduce pre-treatment loss to follow-up and support the joint initiative of WHO, Stop TB and Global Fund to 'FIND.TREAT.ALL.#EndTB'.
