Delivering and beyond: insights about the ExpandTPT community advisory board experience in Brazil.
Article in Journal of global 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
Expansion of tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment (TPT) in contacts has been a challenge worldwide. Brazil is no exception, despite the publication of TB treatment guidelines as early as 1980. The ExpandTPT operational research programme was conducted from 2023 to 2025 in two phases across eight Brazilian high TB-burden cities to scale up TPT among contacts as per national guidelines. The programme was a partnership among the Brazilian TB Research Network (REDE-TB), the national TB programme, and civil society, consisting mainly of capacity building and local service reorganisation based on needs assessment at the municipal and clinic level. During the ExpandTPT implementation, TPT prescriptions increased by 70% in the five participating cities, which is a 30% increase in overall national TPT prescriptions from 2023 to 2024. In this viewpoint, we describe the working method of the ExpandTPT community advisory board, its key elements, role in the programme, and the authors' insights into its challenges and contribution to community engagement in TB research. Lessons learned from this experience may contribute to other operational research projects in public health.
