Defining tuberculosis vulnerability based on an adapted social determinants of health framework: a narrative review.
Review 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 13 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
The World Health Organization's new End TB Strategy emphasises socioeconomic interventions to reduce access barriers to TB care and address the social determinants of TB. To facilitate developing interventions that align with this strategy, we examined how TB vulnerability and vulnerable populations were defined in literature, with the aim to propose a definition and operational criteria for TB vulnerable populations through social determinants of health and equity perspectives. We searched for documents providing explicit definition of TB vulnerability or list of TB vulnerable populations. Guided by the Commission on the Social Determinants of Health framework, we synthesised the definitions, compiled vulnerable populations, developed a conceptual framework of TB vulnerability, and derived definition and criteria for TB vulnerable populations. We defined TB vulnerable populations as those whose context leads to disadvantaged socioeconomic positions that expose them to systematically higher risks of TB, but having limited access to TB care, thus leading to TB infection or progression to TB disease. We propose that TB vulnerable populations can be determined in three dimensions: disadvantaged socioeconomic position, higher risks of TB infection or progression to disease, and poor access to TB care. Examining TB vulnerability facilitates identification and support of vulnerable populations.
