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.

Data was collected by engaging 25-level 1st and 2nd year Nursing students to design infographics that integrate Ubuntu, HIV/AIDS, and TB during a workshop. The participants were purposively sampled based on their creative skills and understanding of the use of infographics. Textual data from discussions, visual data from infographics, and field notes were triangulated and subjected to thematic analysis. Measures to ensure trustworthiness and ethical issues were implemented.

resultsDifferent infographics on applying Ubuntu principles when caring for patients living with HIV/AIDS and TB were displayed and presented to the audience. Integrating Ubuntu principles, and caring for HIV/AIDS and TB through infographics were based on the knowledge and skills obtained during the workshop. The infographics and interpretations demonstrated that awareness of Ubuntu's principles is closely connected to the quality care of patients living with HIV/AIDS and TB.
