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

The role of community engagement (CE) in TB policy, care provision and research has been recognized as important, but most models of CE put communities at the periphery of these activities. In this Editorial, written by TB-impacted community members and care providers, we explore the meaning of CE and current barriers to its implementation. We present a model of CE that places community members at the center of TB policy, care provision and research. The article concludes with advocacy points, including the need for sufficient funding for CE and genuine power-sharing between TB-affected communities and the people and programs aiming to serve them.
