Cross-sectional study of preventive treatment for students with latent tuberculosis infection in Shanghai, China.
Article in BMJ open respiratory research, 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
introductionTuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) has been initiated systematically in Shanghai supported by a public health project. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptance of TPT, identify the factors related to its refusal, and find an optimal way to promote TPT among student tuberculosis (TB) contacts.
methodsWe screened contacts of the TB index case from a TB outbreak on campus. A two-step approach of first conducting a lecture of TB health literacy, followed by one-on-one TPT consultations was used to mobilise TPT among students with latent TB infection (LTBI). A semistructured questionnaire was designed between the lecture and the one-on-one TPT consultations, covering general demographic information, awareness of core TB knowledge and willingness to accept TPT, along with the reasons for refusal. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for refusing TPT.
resultsA total of 52 contacts were identified with LTBI. After the lecture on TB health literacy, their scores on the core TB knowledge was 14.0±2.3. Students had a poor awareness rate of TB knowledge in the part of TB treatment and policy (70.2%) and
conclusionsThe two-step approach of first conducting a lecture of TB health literacy, followed by one-on-one TPT consultations, is effective for mobilising TPT. To further implement TPT, we recommend making the scientific popularisation for LTBI in a more easy-to-understand way and optimising the management of TPT.
