Nikshay Mitra: A Remarkable Initiative in Efforts Against Tuberculosis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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 continues to haunt the fragile healthcare systems in the developing world. It is a disease that is not only limited to the illness due to the bacterial infection but is associated with a number of other impacts, like social and psychological ones. Eliminating tuberculosis is an arduous task and requires a number of initiatives that were taken by the national governments and collaborating partners. One such remarkable development is the introduction of 'Nikshay Mitra'. It is an initiative where the donors are encouraged to support the tuberculosis patients by providing nutritional, additional diagnostic, and vocational support. Even after nearly two years of introduction, there is a paucity of data, especially from large-scale studies from across India. This editorial sheds light on this initiative.
