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

backgroundThere is a growing need to develop rapid laboratory research methods to counter the menace of drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases worldwide especially in developing countries. The present study was undertaken to investigate the type and frequency of rpoB and katG mutations in rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) resistant strains respectively of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) circulating in Northern India and to explore the utility of multiplex-allele-specific (MAS)-PCR assay for detection of drug-resistant MTB isolates in low resource set up.

methodsPhenotypic and genotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) was performed on 354 MTB isolates.

resultsMutation in rpoB gene was found most frequently at codons 531, 526 and 516 (59.83%, 45.29% and 22.22%, respectively). Further, combinations of 2-3 point mutations were also observed in 19.66% of RIF-resistant MTB strains. The frequency of mutations in katG gene was found at codon 315 among 82.95% of the INH-resistant MTB isolates. MAS-PCR detected rpoB and katG mutations in phenotypically resistant isolates with sensitivities of 93% and 83% respectively.

conclusionMAS-PCR assays can be used for rapid detection of drug-resistant TB strains in routine diagnostic practice, enabling early administration of appropriate treatment regimens to the affected patients.
