Closing the gaps in childhood TB detection.
Article in IJTLD open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Globally, the gap between the number of children who develop TB and those who are detected and treated is narrowing, but it remains much wider than among adults. Several new diagnostic tests and approaches have been implemented recently, and more are anticipated in the development pipeline. We examine current tools and prospects for diagnostic testing and propose a framework to guide national TB programs and partners in addressing the TB treatment coverage gap among children while highlighting promising research and programmatic interventions.
