Enhancing TB case detection: a case study of Kenya's Global Fund-supported public-private mix.
Article in Public health action, 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
backgroundKenya, a high-TB-burden country, is among eight WHO-priority countries for public-private mix (PPM) initiatives to engage all health care providers in TB prevention and care.
objectiveTo describe Kenya's experience implementing a Global Fund-supported PPM intervention and its contribution to TB case finding.
designA descriptive case study using programmatic data from a Global Fund-supported PPM project implemented in nine counties in Kenya.
resultsOf 2,027 mapped facilities, 1,405 signed Memoranda of Understanding and 1,269 reported TB services. Of 4.3 million people screened, 260,922 (6%) were identified as presumptive TB, of whom 108,723 (42%) were investigated. Overall, 14,026 individuals were diagnosed with TB (64% bacteriologically confirmed), and 99% initiated on treatment. Level II facilities contributed 45% of notifications (7 per facility), while Level V facilities (only 4) reported the highest average yield (130 per facility). All counties recorded increased TB notifications during implementation, followed by a decline in Quarter 3, 2024.
conclusionEngaging private sector providers significantly enhanced TB case detection. Kenya's PPM experience highlights the engagement choices that need to be made among levels of the health care system for scaling and sustaining PPM models in resource-constrained settings.
