3. Summary of trial results: proportion of those treated for tuberculosis who had a successful outcome.
| Study | Country | Design | Setting | Smear (n/N) | Xpert (n/N) | OR (95% CI) |
| Cox 2014 | South Africa | cluster‐RCT | primary health clinic | 176/224 (79%) | 215/268 (80%) | 1.11 (0.67 to 1.84) |
| Agizew 2019a | Botswana | stepped‐wedge | public HIV clinics | 36/57 (63%) | 136/199 (68%) | 1.26 (0.64 to 2.42) |
| Durovni 2014 | Brazil | stepped‐wedge | primary health clinic | 1276/1840 (68%) | 1571/2214 (70%) | 1.09 (0.94 to 1.27) |
CI: confidence interval RCT: randomized controlled trial OR: odds ratio
Agizew 2019a defined an unsuccessful outcome as default, all‐cause death, failure, or transfer, Durovni 2014 and Cox 2014 also included a small number of participants who were not evaluated.
We calculated the OR for Cox 2014 from the number in each arm. The CI took clustering by week into account, by inflating the standard error of log(OR) by a factor in line with the other outcomes in the same study.
