Optimising pyrazinamide for the treatment of tuberculosis.
Trial report in The European respiratory journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07467252 (A Phase II, Open-Label, Randomised, Parallel-Group, Active-Controlled Trial Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of AI-Optimised Pyrazinamide 1,500 mg / Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg Twice Daily), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 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.
A Phase II, Open-Label, Randomised, Parallel-Group, Active-Controlled Trial Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of AI-Optimised Pyrazinamide 1,500 mg / Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg Twice Daily (AIPH-TB Protocol) Versus Standard Four-Drug RIPE Regimen in Adults With Newly Diagnosed Drug-Sensitive Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Abstract
Pyrazinamide is a potent sterilising agent that shortens the treatment duration needed to cure tuberculosis. It is synergistic with novel and existing drugs for tuberculosis. The dose of pyrazinamide that optimises efficacy while remaining safe is uncertain, as is its potential role in shortening treatment duration further.Pharmacokinetic data, sputum culture, and safety laboratory results were compiled from Tuberculosis Trials Consortium (TBTC) studies 27 and 28 and Pan-African Consortium for the Evaluation of Antituberculosis Antibiotics (PanACEA) multi-arm multi-stage tuberculosis (MAMS-TB), multi-centre phase 2 trials in which participants received rifampicin (range 10-35 mg·kg
