An integrated psycho-social intervention to improve self-efficacy toward TB treatment uptake and infection prevention among patients and family caregivers: a multicentric implementation research study protocol.
Article in Frontiers in tuberculosis, 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
Background: The individuals with tuberculosis (TB) experience a variety of barriers, needs, and challenges when receiving the treatment. Evidence on holistic patient-centered psychosocial interventions that promote self-efficacy and the ability to complete treatment-related tasks and goals is scarce in India. Objectives: To adapt an intervention aimed at strengthening the self-efficacy of individuals on TB treatment and their family caregivers, and to evaluate its effectiveness compared with the standard of care on the primary outcome of improved TB treatment self-efficacy and secondary outcomes of improved medication adherence, reduced TB-related stigma, and improved infection control practices. Methods: A multicentric hybrid Type I mixed method implementation research design will be used to adapt and evaluate the implementation feasibility and effectiveness of delivering a self-efficacy-based intervention under National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) settings in India. A two-arm non-randomized cluster intervention design will be employed to evaluate the impact of a self-efficacy intervention, which includes individual counseling and peer group sessions ( Discussion: The proposed study could generate evidence for a holistic and evidence-informed psycho-social intervention for individuals with TB and their family caregivers. It aims to improve their self-efficacy in overcoming TB treatment challenges and address the key psycho-social barriers comprehensively. Qualitative insights from the study are expected to guide/facilitate the pragmatic scale-up of self-efficacy-based interventions under the National TB program of India. Clinical trial registration: The study has been registered in the Clinical Trial Registry of India CTRI/2024/05/066847.
