1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRespiratory illnesses, including pulmonary TB (PTB), cause significant morbidity. We aimed to understand the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children with presumptive PTB.

methodsChildren aged 0-13 years presenting with presumptive PTB were enrolled. This study includes children who started TB treatment and children in whom TB was excluded (symptomatic controls). Quantitative data were collected using the Toddler and Infant quality of life Instrument (TANDI) (<3 years) and European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-Youth (EQ-5D-Y) (>3 years) measures. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews using thematic analysis.

resultsQuantitative data from caregivers of 201 children (TANDI:

conclusionsHRQoL was high in children with TB, but discrepancies between quantitative and qualitative measures highlight the limitations of the current HRQoL measures.
