Community-based interventions to improve tuberculosis treatment outcomes: A meta-analysis.
Review in MethodsX, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background: More than a century of medical progress has not reduced tuberculosis (TB) as a leading global health threat. The challenge is not drug availability but treatment completion. The 10.7 million new cases and 1.23 million deaths reported in 2024 underscore that biomedical solutions alone are insufficient. Recovery depends on both medication and the social contexts patients face. Digital and community-led interventions aim to close this gap, yet a rigorous synthesis of their pooled effectiveness remains unavailable. Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Dimensions, the Cochrane Library, and ThaiJO for records from 2021 to 2025. Two reviewers independently assessed study quality via JBI tools. A random-effects model was applied. Pooled odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals were computed in JASP (version 0.19). Results: We identified 17,208 records and ultimately included 20 controlled trials ( Conclusion: TB treatment efficacy extends beyond pharmacological potency; recovery is substantially determined by patients' social stability, food security, and capacity to maintain adherence. Effective TB control must integrate socioeconomic support alongside medical regimens to achieve meaningful outcomes.
