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

The objective of the present study was to identify the optimal R207910-containing regimen to administer to patients who cannot receive rifampin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) because of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), concomitant use of antiretroviral drugs, or toxicity. Mice were infected intravenously with 5 x 10(6) CFU of the H37Rv strain and treated five times per week with R207910 alone or various combinations of R207910 with the second-line drugs amikacin (AMK), pyrazinamide (PZA), moxifloxacin (MXF), and ethionamide (ETH). All R207910-containing regimens were significantly more active than the non-R207910-containing regimens after 1 month of therapy. When given for 2 months, R207910 alone was more active than the WHO standard first-line regimen RIF-INH-PZA. When R207910 was combined with second-line drugs, the combinations were more active than the currently recommended regimen of MDR-TB AMK-ETH-MXF-PZA, and culture negativity of both the lungs and spleen was reached after 2 months of treatment in almost every case.
