Perspectives of TB survivors and policymakers on post-TB disability.
Article in Public health action, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundAn international multistakeholder participatory workshop was hosted in the Gambia, West Africa, in November 2021.
objectivesTo explore the experiences, challenges and recommendations of workshop participants on health and wellbeing after TB treatment.
methodsAn exploratory, descriptive, qualitative approach was used for data collection through facilitator-guided group discussions. Workshop participants included adolescent and adult TB survivors, and representatives of TB advocacy groups and the policy sector. Discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, and the data were analysed using a deductive thematic approach.
resultsOverall, 38 participants (22 women) from six West African countries participated in the workshop, comprising 33 TB survivors and advocacy group representatives and 5 participants from the policy sector. Although some TB survivors noted improved ability to carry out physical activities, others continued to experience detrimental effects on their family life, social interactions, physical health and ongoing stigma. Policymakers emphasised the lack of data and clear guidelines on post-TB disability.
conclusionsSome TB survivors continue to suffer detrimental effects of the illness even after treatment completion. However, available data on post-TB disability is inadequate to support policy adoption. Therefore, there is an urgent need for increased advocacy, awareness and research to bridge knowledge gaps.
