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

It is now well understood that the effect of TB does not always end when a patient completes a successful course of treatment. Successful treatment is by definition a microbiological cure, but people may continue to suffer the consequences of TB for months or years after treatment. For example, ongoing health challenges can present in the form of post-TB lung disease (PTLD), and there is a high incidence of TB-related symptoms associated with disability in other domains.
