Genetic and phenotypic characterizations of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Cheonan, Korea.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2018. 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
backgroundMycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) causes tuberculosis (TB), which is a fatal disease. Cases of drug-resistant MTB have increased in recent years. In this study, we analyzed 7 sites of MTB DNA sequences, including the rpoB and inhA gene, to investigate the relationship between gene mutations and drug resistance in MTB.
methodsMycobacterium tuberculosis liquid culture samples (197 specimens from 74 cases) were collected between June 2015 and May 2016 and sequenced. The results were compared with those obtained from antibiotic susceptibility tests.
resultsIn 65 (87.8%) cases, the antibiotic-resistant phenotype was consistent with genotyping results, whereas in 9 (12.2%) cases, there was no match. Eight mutations were detected in the rpoB gene, which showed the highest mutation rate. Sequencing results indicated that these mutations were present in 12 cases.
conclusionPreviously published data on antibiotic resistance genes are insufficient for effective prevention of multidrug- or extensive drug-resistant TB. Additional studies are needed to characterize the complement of antibiotic resistance genes in MTB.
