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 INNO-LiPA.Rif TB test (LiPA) has only been applied to a limited number of clinical specimens. To assess the utility of this test for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA and rifampin (RMP) resistance, 420 sputum samples comprising specimens from untreated (n=160) and previously treated (n=260) patients from 11 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America were tested. DNA was extracted from sputum samples by using a modification of the Boom's method, while the rpoB core region was amplified by nested PCR. The results were analyzed in conjunction with those obtained by Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) microscopy and by culture on solid media. The LiPA test was positive for M. tuberculosis complex DNA in 389 (92.9%) specimens, including 92.0% (286 of 311) ZN-positive and 94.5% (103 of 109) ZN-negative specimens. Of these, 30.6% were RMP resistant. In contrast, 74.3% of the specimens were positive for M. tuberculosis by culture, and 30.8% of them were RMP resistant. LiPA detected M. tuberculosis complex DNA in 92.4% (110 of 119) of the culture-positive and 100.0% (41 of 41) of the culture-negative specimens from untreated patients. There was a 99.6% concordance between the RMP resistance as determined by culture and by the LiPA test. With an optimal DNA extraction method, LiPA allows rapid detection of M. tuberculosis complex DNA and RMP resistance directly from sputum specimens. LiPA can still provide useful information when culture fails for various reasons. The rapid availability of this information is necessary to adjust patient treatment and avoid the risk of amplification of drug resistance.
