Perceptions of stigma among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Thailand, and the links to delays in accessing healthcare.
Article in Journal of infection prevention, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Background: Delay in seeking care increases the morbidity and mortality in tuberculosis (TB) patients and leads to increased likelihood of transmission within the community. Stigmatisation is one of the influencing factors causing delay in accessing healthcare when experiencing symptoms of TB. Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between TB stigmatisation and patient delay among pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients. Methods: A mixed methods study was undertaken among 300 randomly sampled participants who completed questionnaire surveys, supplemented by 25 in-depth interviews with purposively-sampled participants identified as delaying access to healthcare. Results: Participants reporting higher perceived levels of TB stigmatisation demonstrated a longer duration of patient delay ( Discussion: The study highlights that accurate and objective information about TB is required to reduce societal stigmatisation related to the disease, thereby reducing the reluctance of patients to access healthcare.
