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

objectivesto analyze the association between community health workers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding respiratory symptomatic patient detection in Primary Health Care.

methodsa cross-sectional study conducted in Family Health Units in Santa Izabel do Pará, Brazil, with a census sample of 129 community health workers. A questionnaire based on the Advocacy, Communication, and Social Mobilization for TB Control guide was used to survey knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used, with a 95% significance level (p≤0.05).

resultsthe predominant participants were female (n=96/74.4%), aged 40-49 years (n=54/41.9%), with complete high school education (n=86/66.7%), Catholic (n=65/50.4%), brown skin color/race (n=109/84.5%), and 20 years of experience (n=55/42.6%). Associations between knowledge and attitudes (p=0.2582) and between knowledge and practices (p=0.8973) were not statistically significant.

conclusionsworkers' attitudes and practices in the search for respiratory symptomatic patients were not determined by their level of knowledge about tuberculosis.
