Sociodemographic profile of tuberculosis and treatment difficulties in light of health literacy.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 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
objectivesto describe the sociodemographic profile of people with tuberculosis and difficulties in undergoing treatment in Primary Health Care in light of health literacy.
methodsa cross-sectional study, conducted in four Municipal Health Units located in Belém/Pará/Brazil. A total of 207 people undergoing tuberculosis treatment were interviewed using sociodemographic questionnaire and Health Literacy Test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
resultsmales predominated (n=135/65.2%), in the age groups of 18-29 (n=62/30.0%) and 30-39 years (n=50/24.2%), single (n=97/46.9%), with completed high school/incomplete elementary school (n=70/33.8%; n=63/30.4%) and a family income of two minimum wages (n=108/52.2%). Regarding tuberculosis treatment, they acknowledged difficulties such as removing medication from its packaging, refilling medications, and taking multiple pills simultaneously, highlighting limitations related to health literacy.
