1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Undernutrition is a major driver of the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic, with one in five TB cases worldwide attributable to undernutrition. Nutritional interventions may reduce TB incidence and mortality for those at increased risk of developing TB. The TB LION (Tuberculosis - Learning the Impact Of Nutrition) study provides nutritional supplementation to household contacts (HHC) of TB index cases (
