Non-adherence and its predictors among pediatric household contacts on tuberculosis preventive therapy in the 3HP era: A multicenter observational study.

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: Despite prophylactic pharmacotherapy being ranked as the best intervention yet, poor treatment adherence tempers tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) efficacy. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate TPT non-adherence among household contacts and its determinants following the rollout of the 3HP regimen in northwest Ethiopia. Design: A facility-based multicenter retrospective study was conducted in selected hospitals of northwest Ethiopia from October 17 to February 21, 2024. Methods: Target populations were TPT-eligible household contacts (⩽15 years old) based on the national tuberculosis treatment guideline. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify potential predictors. Results: Among 494 household contacts (HHCs) enrolled in this study, 27.94% were non-adherent. Age (5-10 years: adjusted odds ratio (AOR) (95% CI): 1.92 (1.05-3.19); 10-15 years: AOR (95% CI): 2.04 (1.01-4.12)), parental status (AOR (95% CI): 1.87 (1.02-5.24)), comorbidity (AOR (95% CI): 2.92 (1.08-5.69)), poor nutritional status (AOR (95% CI): 1.30 (1.06-2.43)), adverse drug reactions (AOR (95% CI): 4.01 (1.03-8.20)), adherence support (AOR (95% CI): 1.56 (1.08-6.69)) and TPT regimen type (AOR (95% CI): 4.23 (1.85-6.53)) predicts non-adherence. Conclusion: Altogether, this study revealed a high level of non-adherence among HHCs in northwest Ethiopia, falling short of the national 2025/26 TPT targets. TPT should be accompanied by firm counseling and routine supervision to improve adherence.
