Resumo:Background and Objectives: Since its inception, the Brazilian Tuberculosis Research Network (REDE-TB) has contributed significantly to scientific and technological advances in Brazil. This study analyzes this contribution in the strategic areas of tuberculosis prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, which are relevant for achieving the 2030 Agenda to End Tuberculosis. Methods: This research is based on a survey of the Lilacs and Embase/MEDLINE databases, focusing on primary and secondary studies on tuberculosis published by members of REDE-TB between 2018 and 2023. Data on identification, scope, study location, design, area, and population studied were extracted. Descriptive statistics and georeferencing were used for the analysis. Results: A total of 670 publications were identified, of which 447 were included in the review. Of these, 315 (70.5%) were published in international journals. Most studies in Brazil were conducted in Rio de Janeiro (29.0%), followed by São Paulo (19.2%), Rio Grande do Sul (13.8%), Paraná (11.6%) and Amazonas (10.7%). After Brazil, 24 (8.0%) studies were conducted in India, followed by South Africa (16 - 5.3%) and Uganda (10 - 3.3%). The studies had different designs, including literature reviews and epidemiologic studies, and focused primarily on tuberculosis disease (56.4%) and, to a lesser extent, tuberculosis infection (12.6%). Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of the Brazilian Research Network on Tuberculosis (REDE-TB) in the scientific production related to tuberculosis, contributing to policies and actions aimed at combating the disease in Brazil and around the world.
