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

New regimens based on 2 or more novel agents are sought to shorten or to simplify treatment of tuberculosis (TB), including drug-resistant forms. Prior studies showed that the novel combinations of bedaquiline (BDQ) plus pretomanid (PMD) plus pyrazinamide (PZA) and PMD plus moxifloxacin (MXF) plus PZA shortened the treatment duration necessary to prevent relapse by 2 to 3 months and 1 to 2 months, respectively, compared with the current first-line regimen, in a murine TB model. These 3-drug combinations are now being studied in clinical trials. Here, the 4-drug combination of BDQ+PMD+MXF+PZA was compared to its 3-drug component regimens and different treatment durations of PZA and MXF were explored, to identify the optimal regimens and treatment times and to estimate the likelihood of success against drug-resistant strains. BDQ+PMD+MXF+PZA rendered all mice relapse-free after 2 months of treatment. PZA administration could be discontinued after the first month of treatment without worsening outcomes, whereas the absence of MXF, PZA, or BDQ administration from the beginning necessitated approximately 0.5, 1, or 2 months, respectively, of additional treatment to attain the same outcome.
