From Thomas Mann to John Green, how authors and books shape our understanding of TB.
Article in IJTLD open, 2026. 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
Over the centuries, from Thomas Mann to John Green, many authors have attempted to tell the story of TB, or stories of people with TB, via books, poems, art, and films. Books, in particular, have helped us better understand the disease, its history, and its impact on people. This Editorial is a celebration of a selection of books and authors who have made important contributions, broadly grouped under four categories: historical; fiction; personal narratives; contemporary. Collectively, these books underscore the fact that TB has always thrived on racism, prejudice, poverty, and injustice, and continues to do so, even today. The book about the end of TB, sadly, is yet to be written.
