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 latest figures for TB are a sombre reminder that we need to accelerate progress to eradicate this disease. We are, therefore, launching a series of articles that bring the focus back onto TB elimination. We begin with an article that highlights the factors that have helped to reduce mortality due to HIV/AIDS and the lessons that might be applied to TB control. Then, the authors of a 'Regional Perspective' describe the current strategy to reduce the burden of TB in the Western Pacific Region. The authors critically review the progress made, and the remaining challenges, allowing them to propose additional elements to improve TB control. We anticipate that the series will highlight many commonalities, but also provide ideas for innovative solutions, and provoke discussion on how best to move forward.
