Multilevel determinants of knowledge on TB transmission among women of reproductive age.
Article in IJTLD open, 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
backgroundIn Peru, TB remains a leading public health concern, yet knowledge about its transmission among women of reproductive age is poorly characterised. We sought to determine multilevel factors associated with comprehensive TB knowledge in this population.
methodsWe analysed data from 29,889 women aged 15-49 years across 25 departments using Peru's 2024 Demographic and Health Survey. Comprehensive TB knowledge was defined as correct identification of airborne transmission and rejection of at least three of five common myths. Three-level logistic regression, spatial autocorrelation, and concentration index analyses were used to examine individual, household, and contextual determinants.
resultsWeighted prevalence of comprehensive TB knowledge was 27.5% (95% confidence interval: 26.3-28.6). Education exhibited a dose-response gradient (odds ratio 4.7 for higher vs. no education; 95% confidence interval: 3.30-6.57). The intraclass correlation coefficient was 22.2%, indicating substantial contextual variation. Spatial analysis showed significant clustering (Moran's I = 0.077,
conclusionApproximately one in four Peruvian women possess comprehensive TB knowledge, with pronounced socio-economic and geographic inequities. These findings support targeted educational interventions for women with limited schooling in economically disadvantaged communities.
