Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background and Aims: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Afghanistan, requiring enhanced community engagement for effective control. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to TB among outpatients in Balkh to inform targeted interventions. Methods: A convenience-based, face-to-face cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2024 to April 2025 on 867 hospital outpatients in Balkh using a structured questionnaire developed from peer-reviewed articles. A pilot study with 30 participants showed Cronbach's Results: Of the 867 participants, 63.7%, 52.7%, and 51.4% showed good knowledge, attitude, and practice, respectively. Additionally, good TB-related knowledge was significantly associated with being married (OR = 6.67), university education (OR = 3.31), prior awareness of TB (OR = 2.29), history of TB treatment (OR = 2.79), and TB vaccination (OR = 1.97) (all Conclusion: Significant gaps in TB KAP in Balkh reflect socioeconomic and systemic barriers. Targeted education and community-based interventions are essential for effective TB control.
