Undiagnosed burden of latent tuberculosis, active tuberculosis and tuberculosis-HIV co-infections in Africa-status quo, needs, priorities, and opportunities.
Review in IJID regions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Africa, with latent TB infection (LTBI) and TB co-infections posing significant public health challenges. This viewpoint examines the undiagnosed burden of LTBI and TB co-infections across the continent, emphasizing findings from autopsy studies. Data from the World Health Organization's Global Tuberculosis Report 2024 and recent autopsy research highlight the prevalence of undetected TB cases, particularly among individuals with HIV. Autopsy studies reveal a substantial proportion of TB cases that were undiagnosed
