Elucidation of a Human Urine Metabolite as a Seryl-Leucine Glycopeptide and as a Biomarker of Effective Anti-Tuberculosis Therapy.
Trial report in ACS infectious diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The evaluation of new tuberculosis (TB) therapies is limited by the paucity of biomarkers to monitor treatment response. Previous work detected an uncharacterized urine metabolite with a molecular mass of 874.3547 Da that showed promise as a biomarker for successful TB treatment. Using mass spectrometry combined with enzymatic digestions, the metabolite was structurally characterized as a seryl-leucine core 1 O-glycosylated peptide (SLC1G) of human origin. Examination of SLC1G in urine revealed a significant abundance increase in individuals with active TB versus their household contacts and healthy controls. Moreover, differential decreases in SLC1G levels were observed by week one in TB patients during successful treatment versus those that failed treatment. The SLC1G levels were also associated with clinical parameters used to measure bacterial burden (GeneXpert) and inflammation (positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT)). These results demonstrate the importance of metabolite identification and provide strong evidence for applying SLC1G as a biomarker of TB treatment response.
