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

Treatment of tuberculosis (TB) and the discovery of effective new anti-tubercular drugs are among the most urgent priorities in health organizations all over the world. In the present study, fluorinated analogs of some of the most important anti-TB agents such as p-aminosalicylic acid (PAS), thiacetazone and pyrazinamide were synthesized and tested against TB. The fluorinated analog of thiacetazone was 20 times more potent than the parent compound against M.tuberculosis H37-RV, while the fluorinated p-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) was almost three times less potent than PAS. A few other halogenated analogs of thioacetazone were also synthesized and subjected to anti-M.tuberculosis screening tests. The best halogen substituent was found to be fluorine which has the smallest size from one hand and the strongest electronegativity from the other hand among the halogen atoms. Fluorine therefore could be considered as a golden substituent to improve the anti-M.tuberculosis activity of thioacetazone.
