Molecular genetic analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains spread in different patient groups in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Molecular epidemiological features of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains among different patient groups in Russia have not been studied well. The aim of our study was to compare the genotypes of M. tuberculosis strains circulating among tuberculosis (TB) patients from different groups: homeless, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected, prisoners, and the general population of St. Petersburg citizens. One hundred and forty-two M. tuberculosis complex isolates from different TB patient groups were studied using the spacer oligonucleotide typing (spoligotyping) method. The majority of the studied M. tuberculosis isolates in all groups belonged to the Beijing family (55% among homeless; 77% among HIV-infected; 60% among the general population; 81% among prisoners). There were no significant differences in the Beijing family prevalence among homeless patients, HIV/TB co-infected patients, and the general population of TB patients. The lowest genetic diversity of the pathogen was detected among imprisoned patients. The results of our study demonstrate that M. tuberculosis strains circulating among patients from high-risk groups are also spread among the general population of St. Petersburg citizens.
