Dynamical behavior analysis of 2-control strategies on tuberculosis model.
Article in PLOS global 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
We develop and rigorously analyze a deterministic SEITR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Treated-Recovered) model that incorporates distancing and treatment interventions to examine the transmission dynamics of tuberculosis. The basic reproduction number (R0) is computed and decomposed to determine the threshold conditions for disease persistence. We propose a next-generation matrix formulation to determine the stability of the disease-free state and demonstrate that tuberculosis dies out whenever R0 < 1. Numerical implementation is performed using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme and the backward sweep method, while Pontryagin's maximum principle is utilized for determination of optimal intervention profiles. Sensitivity analysis is performed using normalized forward sensitivity indices, Pearson correlation, and Partial Rank Correlation Coefficient (PRCC). The results indicate that the transmission rate ([Formula: see text]) is strongly positively correlated with the basic reproduction number (R0), whereas the control parameters (u1, u2) exhibit negative correlations with R0, highlighting their effectiveness in reducing disease transmission. The epidemiological efficacy of dual interventions is demonstrated by a significant decrease in infectious prevalence when both control measures are implemented simultaneously. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio demonstrate that the combined control strategy is more cost-effective than individual interventions. These integrated analytical and numerical findings support the recommendation for sustained, early implementation of both distancing and treatment measures to achieve economically viable and dynamically stable tuberculosis mitigation.
