Yield of Tuberculosis Contact Screening and Predictors of Contact Tuberculosis Diagnosis in Bungoma County Hospital, Kenya.
Article in International journal of health sciences and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 (TB) contact screening though highly recommended is seldom practiced in low- and middle-income countries due to lack of evidence-based approaches best suited to the local setting. We assessed the yield of TB contact screening and predictors of TB diagnosis at a county referral hospital in Western Kenya. We identified clients with TB disease at Bungoma county referral hospital between January and December 2021, who completed a standard questionnaire and identified potential close contacts. We described the characteristics and yield of TB disease among contacts using means, standard deviation, counts and proportions. We used logistic regression to determine factors associated with TB diagnosis for contacts and reported odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). We identified 105 index TB cases who identified 358 contacts. The yield of TB disease among the contacts was 11% (39/353). The mean age of the TB contacts was 29.2 years (SD 19.3) and 87.8% (310/353) were household contacts. Body mass index of 18.5 kg/m
