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

To realize the most benefit from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) screening, all nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT)-positive respiratory specimens should be universally tested. Once an MDR-TB diagnosis is established, additional testing is warranted to provide details about the detected mutations. The lab-on-chip technology described by A. M. Cabibbe et al. (J Clin Microbiol 53:3876-3880, 2015, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01824-15) potentially provides this much needed information.
