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

Shorter, more potent regimens are needed for tuberculosis. The nitroimidazole pretomanid was recently approved for extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid. Pretomanid may also have benefit as a treatment-shortening agent for drug-sensitive tuberculosis. It is unclear how and whether it can be used together with rifamycins, which are key sterilizing first-line drugs. In this analysis, data were pooled from two studies: the Assessing Pretomanid for Tuberculosis (APT) trial, in which patients with drug-sensitive pulmonary TB received pretomanid, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide plus either rifampin or rifabutin versus standard of care under fed conditions, and the AIDS Clinical Trials Group 5306 (A5306) trial, a phase I study in healthy volunteers receiving pretomanid alone or in combination with rifampin under fasting conditions. In our population pharmacokinetic (PK) model, participants taking rifampin had 44.4 and 59.3% reductions in pretomanid AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) compared to those taking rifabutin or pretomanid alone (due to 80 or 146% faster clearance) in the APT and A5306 trials, respectively. Median maximum concentrations (
