Determining the minimum data set of the tuberculosis information management system.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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 contagious and potentially fatal infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, leading to widespread clinical infections. To improve the prevention, control, management, and monitoring of tuberculosis, standardized data collection with consistent definitions is essential. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a minimum data set (MDS) as the initial phase in creating a tuberculosis information management system. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis applied-descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed in 2023. First, a comprehensive literature review was carried out to determine potential data elements. For this purpose, both Persian and English scientific databases, as well as grey literature such as medical guidelines, medical websites, and patient medical records, were reviewed. Then, a two-step Delphi survey was conducted to determine important data elements to be included in the final tuberculosis MDS. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics in SPSS 21 software.
resultsThe MDS of the tuberculosis information management system was divided into two sections: administrative and clinical. The administrative section consisted of 33 data elements, and the clinical section consisted of 90 data elements.
conclusionsThis study provided a practical MDS for tuberculosis that can help collect integrated and inclusive data for information: management systems in this domain. It will be useful for policymakers, healthcare providers, and researchers to collaborate and prevent, control, and manage tuberculosis, and reduce the burden of disease.
