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

backgroundThe emergence of drug resistance among

methodsHRM analysis was performed to screen 52 (32 drug-resistant and 20 fully susceptible) MTB clinical isolates for mutations in

resultsIn total, 32 phenotypically resistant isolates, comprising 18 RIF-, 16 INH-, and five OFX- resistant strains, were investigated. HRM analysis successfully identified 15 out of 18 mutations in

conclusionHRM assay is a rapid, accurate, and cost-effective method possessing high sensitivity and specificity for the determination of antibiotic resistance among MTB clinical isolates and screening of their associated mutations. This method can generate results in a shorter period of time than taken by the phenotypic susceptibility testing and also allows for timely treatment and prevention of the emergence of possible MDR strains.
