Health literacy on tuberculosis prevention and control among people living with HIV: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a severe public health threat in China. People living with HIV (PLWH) face markedly higher risks of TB and TB-related mortality. Evaluating TB knowledge in this vulnerable group is critical for targeted health education, yet relevant data remain scarce. This study assessed TB awareness among PLWH to inform tailored TB health-education interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using random proportional sampling from October to December 2024 in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province. A total of 225 PLWH completed face-to-face questionnaires covering sociodemographic characteristics, awareness of the five core TB information items, willingness to learn, current knowledge sources, and preferred information channels. Results: The overall awareness rate of core TB information among PLWH was 57.1%. Awareness varied significantly across specific items, ranging from 86.7% for "TB is an infectious disease" to only 28.0% for "TB is curable." Lower awareness was significantly associated with rural residence (53.5% vs. urban 62.8%, Conclusion: TB knowledge among PLWH was insufficient, with significant gaps in transmission, prevention, and curability. The vast majority demonstrated willingness to acquire TB knowledge and future efforts are needed to prioritize the underserved subgroups (e.g., rural and less-educated individuals). Digital platforms can be effectively combined with TB education integrated into routine HIV services. Messaging must focus on transmission, prevention, and curability through standard treatment adherence.
