Roadblocks and resilience: A qualitative study of the impact of pediatric tuberculosis on Tanzanian households and solutions from caregivers.
Article in Global public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Distinct from quantifying the economic sequelae of tuberculosis (TB) in adults, data are scarce regarding lived experiences of youth and their caregivers seeking and sustaining TB treatment in low income communities. Children ages 4-17 diagnosed with TB and their caregivers were recruited from rural and semi-urban northern Tanzania. Using a grounded theory approach, a qualitative interview guide was developed, informed by exploratory research. Twenty-four interviews were conducted in Kiswahili, audio-recorded and analyzed for emerging and consistent themes. Dominant themes found were socioemotional impacts of TB on households, including adverse effects on work productivity, and facilitators and obstacles to TB care, including general financial hardship and transportation challenges. The median percentage of household monthly income spent to attend a TB clinic visit was 34% (minimum: 1%, maximum: 220%). The most common solutions identified by caregivers to mitigate adverse impacts were transportation assistance and nutrition supplementation. To end TB, healthcare systems must acknowledge the total financial burden shouldered by low wealth families seeking pediatric TB care, provide consultations and medications locally, and increase access to TB-specific communal funds to mitigate burdens such as inadequate nutrition.
