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.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesMigration, as an important social determinant in the field of health, plays a crucial role in the non-eradication of tuberculosis worldwide. Therefore, it is essential to identify the factors related to tuberculosis treatment in immigrants to effectively combat this disease. However no comprehensive study has focused on this issue. Therefore, this study was conducted using an ecological approach to identify the barriers and facilitators of tuberculosis treatment in immigrants.

methodsThis qualitative study utilized an integrative literature review. Studies were searched without time restrictions in database such as MEDLINE, Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), Google Scholar, Scopus, and EMBAS, as well as internal databases like Scientific Information Database and Magiran. The findings of 100 studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using the conventional content analysis method based on the ecological approach.

resultsIn general, the aforementioned codes were placed into four main categories, including individual factors (i.e., biological factors, psychological factors, behavioral factors, patient knowledge, factors related to tuberculosis, and economic factors), interpersonal factors (i.e., communication with the treatment team and family-related factors), factors related to health service provider centers (i.e., medical facilities), and extra-organizational factors (i.e., social factors and health policies).

conclusionThe findings of the present study show that treating tuberculosis in immigrants is a complex phenomenon influenced by several factors. Therefore policymakers and healthcare providers should take a more comprehensive look at the factors affecting treatment in this group of patients to plan and implement more effective interventions.
