Stigma in Tuberculosis: Time to Act on an Important and Largely Unaddressed Issue.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Tuberculosis has afflicted mankind for centuries, serving as a prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality in high-burden countries. Despite ongoing efforts in tuberculosis control, critical issues, such as the psychological impact of the disease, often go unaddressed. This editorial sheds light on a crucial aspect of tuberculosis: the stigma associated with the infection and its profound impact. Additionally, it offers suggestions to overcome the shortcomings in the psychological management of patients.
