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

purpose of reviewFor the first time in decades, there are multiple new drugs in the pipeline for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). In addition, existing drugs are being repurposed or optimized for TB with the goal of shortened treatment duration for drug-sensitive TB and safer, shorter treatments for multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB. In this review, the results of recent trials evaluating novel combination regimens for TB disease and latent TB infection are described. RECENT

findingsHigh-dose rifamycins (rifampin and rifapentine) and fluoroquinolones directly observed have treatment-shortening potential when used for drug-sensitive TB disease, and a 12-dose once-weekly regimen of rifapentine along with isoniazid effectively treats latent TB. Bedaquiline, an anti-TB drug with a novel mechanism of action, and delamanid, a nitroimidazole, are entering phase 3 trials. Both improve rates of sputum culture conversion among patients with MDR-TB. Other nitroimidazoles and oxazolidinones are in Phase 2 testing, as are combinations involving multiple new chemical entities. SUMMARY: With the resurgence of anti-TB drug discovery efforts, we now have a modestly robust pipeline of new anti-TB drugs. Several promising new regimens involving investigational and existing drugs that may be capable of shortening treatment for drug-sensitive TB and improving management of drug-resistant TB are in late-phase clinical evaluation.
