Approaches and results of intersectoral actions for tuberculosis control in the world: A scoping review.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundTuberculosis is a neglected disease with a wide global scope that overcomes public health challenges, also constituting an obstacle to social development. In the effort to control the disease, Tuberculosis Control Programs around the world have aligned their actions with the World Health Organization End TB Strategy, which emphasizes intersectorality as a fundamental component for effective disease control.
objectiveTo map the approaches and results of intersectoral tuberculosis control actions at the global scenario. METHODOLOGY: This scoping review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and the Joanna Briggs Institute manual, ensuring methodological rigor and transparency. The review protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework. Searches were carried out in indexed databases and in the gray literature. Data collection took place by two independent reviewers, with results stored and organized in spreadsheets.
resultsThree hundred and ninety-six (396) studies were identified, of which 60 were analyzed in full, resulting in the inclusion of 11 studies for the final review. It was evidenced that intersectoral articulation is fundamental in tuberculosis control, involving sectors such as health, education, social assistance and justice, to ensure adequate health care and social support, particularly for vulnerable populations. Community education and awareness played a central role in treatment adherence and reducing stigma, while resource mobilization was needed to maintain health services, especially in contexts of scarcity.
conclusionThe integration of intersectoral services, involvement of non-governmental organizations and active community participation are essential elements for effective tuberculosis control. The findings reinforce the importance of addressing the social determinants of health to achieve the objectives of the End TB strategy, promoting an environment conducive to the prevention, early detection and effective treatment of the disease.
