Factors associated with unfavorable tuberculosis treatment outcomes in the population deprived of liberty.
Article in IJTLD open, 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
backgroundTB represents a significant challenge within the prison context. The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with the unfavourable outcomes (no-cure) of TB treatment in the population deprived of liberty (PDL) in southern Brazil.
methodsA cross-sectional study using secondary data from the national notification system was developed to identify TB outcomes. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were applied to determine the dimensions of care associated with unfavourable outcome of TB treatment in the PDL. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were provided for each dimension evaluated.
resultsA total of 3,022 TB cases in the PDL were analysed, of which 1,077 (35.6%) resulted in unfavourable outcome. After adjustment, the following were associated with unfavourable outcome: living with HIV/AIDS, notification by other teams, entry by transfers, clinical epidemiological diagnosis, and self-administered treatment.
conclusionThe factors associated with unfavourable TB treatment outcomes in PDL are mainly related to non-compliance with public policy determinations and government strategies, such as: lack of health staff in prison institutions, excessive transfers, lack of confirmatory TB tests, and failure to perform directly observed treatment, which should be the rule.
