Comprehensive care lowers multimorbidity, impairment, disability and absenteeism in people with TB.
Article in IJTLD open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A substantial proportion of TB survivors experience poor health, live with comorbidities or experience impairments or disability, even when TB is successfully treated. In this study, implemented in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, this disease burden was addressed through a package of screening, referral and assessment for functional impairments at the start and end of TB treatment. Reductions in symptoms, harmful behaviours, functional impairments and absenteeism were observed. These promising results demonstrate the importance of early intervention. They could be enhanced by implementing this package of interventions in other high TB burden settings and by longer-term follow up.
