A study on Beijing genotype in the clinical isolates of pulmonary drug-resistant tuberculosis.

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
backgroundMycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) Beijing strains are spread worldwide and are responsible for major outbreaks of tuberculosis (TB), sometimes spreading multidrug resistance (MDR).
aimThe aim of this study was to explore clinical features associated with the infection with Beijing strains among MDR patients of pulmonary TB in Lucknow and surrounding areas. MATERIALS AND
methodsIt was a hospital-based epidemiological study. Our study population was selected from all the newly diagnosed patients attending outpatient department and admitted patients of Department of Respiratory Medicine, King George's Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Those isolates which were characterized to be MTB by morphological and molecular techniques were tested for their resistance against the first-line drugs; after which each patient's isolate was genotyped.
resultsThe results suggested that the presence of Beijing genotype in 31.78% of strains.
conclusionOur results predicted that genotypic patterns reveal a large diversity among the MTB Beijing strain population. Increasing frequency of Beijing strains demands further research to unravel the factors behind its propensity to prevail.
