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 present study investigates epidemiological diversity and multidrug resistance spreading among Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains circulating in Moscow, Russian Federation. Among 115 M. tuberculosis strains selected randomly from the sputum of epidemiologically unrelated tuberculosis (TB) patients, multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains predominated. Mutations in the RRDR of the rpoB gene were detected in 64 (83.1%) of 77 rifampicin (RIF)-resistant strains. The Ser531→Leu substitution was prevalent among them (76.5%). Aberrations in the Ser315 codon of katG and/or in the inhA promoter region were found in 79 (84.0%) of 94 isoniazid (INH)-resistant strains. Strains belonging to the Beijing family prevailed. Seventy-one different patterns were identified using the 24-VNTR loci typing scheme. Three main 24-loci VNTR clusters included 34 strains which belonged to the Beijing family. The spoligotyping and 24-loci VNTR typing combination demonstrated maximal discriminatory power. Among the Beijing strains, the MDR phenotype was revealed more frequently than among the others. High genetic heterogeneity of the studied population was shown by the assessment of VNTR loci variability in the analyzed group and in the strains from other parts of Russia. Comparison of the 24-VNTR locus typing and spoligotyping data with revealed resistance-associated mutation allows us to make a suggestion that the active transmission of MDR strains and the independent appearance of drug resistance during chemotherapy occurred in the studied population simultaneously.
