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

backgroundIn India, health-facility staff at anti-retroviral therapy (ART) centres enter the tuberculosis (TB) status of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in

objectiveTo determine acceptability and usability of SOCH among health-facility staff for entering TB status of PLHIV in ART centres of Odisha, an Eastern Indian state.

designWe performed a cross-sectional study from June 2025 to January 2026 in 17 ART centres of Odisha. Acceptability was assessed using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model and usability with the System Usability Scale (SUS).

resultsAmong 33 staff, median (interquartile range [IQR]) individual scores for four constructs (maximum score: 20) ranged between 15 (14-16) and 16 (12-17). Overall median (IQR) SUS score was 42.5 (31.2-57.5). Lack of training, technical faults, and entering same information in SOCH and

conclusionIn Odisha, SOCH was acceptable, albeit with low usability. Periodic training of staff, technical audit of SOCH, and enabling interoperability between HIV and TB portals may improve reporting of HIV-TB care cascade.
