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: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health challenge, with India being severely affected. Despite efforts like the End TB Strategy and the National Strategic Plan for TB Control, the burden persists, necessitating innovative approaches such as the Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (PMTBMBA). This study aims to assess the implementation and reach of PMTBMBA nutritional support, examining factors that influence its uptake among persons with TB (PwTB) and Ni-kshay Mitra: a voluntary donor to PwTB. Materials and Methods: Aggregated data variables from the records and registers of Ni-kshay Portal were analyzed for the duration of September 2022 to May 2023. It examined the nutritional support coverage under PMTBMBA initiative and outcomes of PwTB and uptake of scheme among Ni-kshay Mitra. Results: The PMTBMBA showed 51% Ni-kshay Mitra supported, with varying levels of support provision across the states. Notably, 9.6% of PwTB documented with receipt of benefits during initial months, with better coverage in certain states. Most of the Ni-kshay Mitra distributed nutritional support, and analysis demonstrated a significant association between Ni-kshay Mitra support and improved treatment outcomes. This finding was confirmed through Chi-square analysis ( Conclusion: The PMTBMBA represents a crucial initiative in India's TB control efforts, integrating comprehensive support for PwTB. However, challenges in volunteer engagement and geographical disparities highlight the need for targeted strategies and equitable nutritional support allocation. The study underscores the importance of community involvement and nutritional support in enhancing TB treatment outcomes, emphasizing the program's potential to drive progress toward TB elimination.
