Predictors of Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment Completion in College Students: A High Adherence Study in China.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: To investigate and evaluate factors associated with completion of tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) among college students with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 399 LTBI college students who initiated TPT in Shandong Province, China. TPT completion rates were determined. Factors associated with TPT completion were assessed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: Of the 399 students initially initiated TPT, 364 (91.2%) eventually completed treatment. Non-medical students were more likely than medical students to discontinue TPT early [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.31, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.13-0.78; Conclusion: Standardized medication management is critical to the completion of preventive treatment. To improve TPT adherence, we suggest tailored interventions based on factors associated with TPT completion, such as the individual (type of student, level of education, incidence of adverse events) and family characteristics (household income) of college students with LTBI, are identified as improving LTBI treatment completion.
