1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Environmental exposures, particularly air pollutants, are important determinants of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) incidence and mortality. However, limited evidence exists on whether greenspace exposure influences PTB treatment outcomes, and little is known about how such effects vary across spatial scales or interact with air pollutants during treatment. This study examined the scale-specific associations between greenspace exposure and PTB treatment success and assessed whether greenspace modified the associations between air pollutants and treatment outcomes within 250, 500, and 1250 m residential buffers. Using data from 82,784 PTB cases in Zhejiang Province, we applied multivariate Cox proportional hazards models to estimate associations between greenspace exposure and treatment success across multiple spatial scales. Interaction analyses were further conducted to evaluate the joint effects of greenspace and air pollutants on PTB treatment outcomes. Greenspace exposure within the 1250 m buffer showed the strongest positive association with PTB treatment success. Compared with patients in the lowest quintile of greenspace exposure, those in the fourth quintile within the 1250 m buffer were significantly more likely to achieve treatment success (HR = 1.0701, 95% CI: 1.04 - 1.10). Significant positive interactions were also observed between greenspace and SO
