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
<sec><title>BACKGROUND</title>Stigma is a barrier to care for people affected by TB and HIV in Uganda, where these conditions remain endemic. While scales have been adapted and validated to measure stigma among TB-affected households in Uganda, there is a need for scales that measure the experiences of persons with TB (PWTB).</sec><sec><title>METHODS</title>We adapted the Van Rie 12-item individual perspectives TB scale and 10-item individual perspectives HIV scale for use in Uganda through cross-cultural discussions with a multidisciplinary research team and four cognitive interviews with community health workers and PWTB. We then conducted a cross-sectional study administering each scale to 125 PWTB. We performed exploratory factor analysis, evaluated internal validity, and assessed convergent validity with perceived social support.</sec><sec><title>RESULTS</title>Exploratory factor analysis yielded a one-factor solution for both scales, with marginal model fit (standardised root mean square residual = 0.09 for TB, = 0.07 for HIV). There was evidence of convergent validity through a positive correlation of the TB (
