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 assess the concordance between TB prevention practices and treatment adherence and identify determinants of a combined prevention and adherence behaviour.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 147 TB patients attending seven urban primary health centres in Malang, Indonesia (January to June 2025). Prevention behaviours and treatment adherence were assessed using structured questionnaire Agreement between prevention practices and adherence was analysed using weighted Cohen kappa and Gwet AC. Determinants of the combined behavioural categories were identified using multinomial logistic regression.
resultsHigh prevention behaviour and high treatment adherence was observed in 52% and 57%. Agreement between these two behaviours was moderate. Results showed 34% of patients consistently had high prevention and adherence behaviour, 53% showed moderate behaviour, and 13% showed low behaviour. Moderate combined behaviour was associated with gender and TB knowledge. High combined behaviour was significantly associated with higher education, greater income, stronger family functioning, more positive attitudes, and higher TB knowledge.
conclusionRoutine educational programmes are needed for patients and their families during the intensive phase of treatment, along with individualised family assistance through personalised education sessions when patients visit primary health centres to collect their medications.
