Prevalence of mutations conferring resistance among multi- and extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in China.
Article in The Journal of antibiotics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
To identify the mutations in multi- and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis isolates and to evaluate the use of molecular markers of resistance, we analyzed 257 multi- and extensively drug-resistant isolates and 64 pan-sensitive isolates from 23 provinces in China. Seven loci associated with drug resistance, including rpoB for rifampin (RIF), katG, inhA and oxyR-ahpC for isoniazid (INH), gyrA and gyrB for ofloxacin (OFX), and rrs for kanmycin (KAN), were examined by DNA sequencing. Compared with the phenotypic data, the sensitivity and specificity for DNA sequencing were 91.1% and 98.4% for RIF, 80.2% and 98.4% for INH, 72.2% and 98.3% for OFX and 40% and 98.2% for KAN, respectively. The most common mutations found in RIF, INH, OFX and KAN resistance were Ser531Leu (48.2%) in rpoB, Ser315Thr (49.8%) in katG, C(-15)T (10.5%) in inhA, Asp94Gly (20.3%), Asp94Ala (12.7%) and Ala90Val (21.5%) in gyrA, and A1401G (40%) in rrs. This molecular information will be helpful to establish new molecular biology-based methods for diagnosing multi- and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in China.
