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

introductionAmong the infectious diseases, tuberculosis (TB) remains the second most common cause of death after HIV. TB treatment requires the combination of multiple drugs including the rifamycin class. However, rifamycins are activators of human pregnane X receptor (PXR), a transcription factor that regulates drug metabolism, drug resistance, energy metabolism and immune response. Rifamycin-mediated PXR activation may affect the outcome of TB therapy. AREAS COVERED: This review describes the role of PXR in modulating metabolism, efficacy, toxicity and resistance to anti-TB drugs; as well as polymorphisms of PXR that potentially affect TB susceptibility. EXPERT OPINION: The wide range of PXR functions that mediate drug metabolism and toxicity in TB therapy are often underappreciated and thus understudied. Further studies are needed to determine the overall impact of PXR activation on the outcome of TB therapy.
