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

Evolving novel and/or unfamiliar mutations are revolutionizing the pathways of antibiotic resistance of clinical tuberculosis. The accumulation and interaction of these poorly characterized mutations augment the complexity of resistant pathogenic strains and raise public health concerns. This article reviews our current understanding of the genetic changes that characterize drug resistance in tuberculosis and highlights the imperative for further investigations focusing on the effects of an individual mutation and interacting mutations with detailed strain epidemiology, particularly as these pertain to technology-limited countries with high tuberculosis incidence rates. Concomitantly, there is a need for the development, testing, and uptake of new tools for studying the effects of these mutations in drug resistance and fitness cost of the pathogen. Such genetic data are critical for effective localized and global tuberculosis control interventions and for accurate epidemiological predictions.
