Determinants of adherence towards tuberculosis guidelines among Indonesian private practitioners: a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ global health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionIn high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, the private sector manages a large proportion of initial visits by presumptive patients with TB. In Indonesia, the second largest contributor of TB cases globally, private practitioners (PPs) often do not adhere to national TB guidelines. A district public-private mix programme to mitigate this issue was started in 2019, yet engagement remains low. This study examines what affects the decisions of Indonesian PPs regarding TB management.
methodsWe performed semistructured in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with 24 PPs and 6 relevant stakeholders. Data collection and analysis were based on Flottorp's comprehensive and generic checklist on determinants of healthcare professional practice, including seven domains: guideline factors; individual professional barriers; patient factors; professional interactions; incentives and resources; organisational changes capacity and social, legal and political factors. The interviews and FGDs were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Coding and analysis were conducted by using NVivo software.
resultsBarriers that influenced PPs adherence to following the national TB guideline were found in all seven domains, including incoherence between national and international TB management guidelines, the complex referral and financing system, limited access to appropriate diagnostics tools and drugs, and patient preferences. This was further exacerbated by perceived lack of trust between PPs and local governmental stakeholders. In this study, in addition to seventh Flottorp's domain, we also found the complex nature of TB disease, which also complicates the decision-making process of PPs in TB management.
conclusionPPs face several challenges in complying with TB guidelines to enable optimal clinical decision-making.
