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

introductionInternational conferences on tuberculosis (TB) have been held since the 19th century. In Peru, the TB Scientific Conferences have been held annually in Lima since 2013 as a means of developing a national TB research network and setting the stage for researchers and institutions to present and share new findings from studies conducted in Peru.

methodsSystematization of information on speakers and presentations from TB Scientific Conferences in Peru. Presentation files and official agendas for the conferences from 2013 to 2019 were obtained from the Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Directorate's website.

resultsA total of 426 scientific presentations have been delivered by 230 speakers, with a steady annual increase. 37.1% of the talks were given by female speakers. To date, 61.4% of the research presented has been published. Out of all the studies, 10.9% (30/275) were part of international, multicentric research projects. Main research lines were epidemiology (40.1%), drug-resistance (29.6%) and treatment (22.1%).

conclusionsTB Scientific Conferences serve as a platform to share region-specific TB evidence between local stakeholders (health officials, academics, and others) who aim to facilitate the implementation of measures with the goal of reducing the national gaps towards the End TB Strategy goals.
