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

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of death by an infectious pathogen worldwide, and drug-resistant TB is a critical and rising obstacle to global control efforts. Most scientific studies and global TB efforts have focused on multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), meaning isolates resistant to both isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF). Newer diagnostic tests are resulting in an increasing awareness of RIF-resistant TB in addition to MDR disease. To date, RIF resistance has been assumed to be synonymous with MDR-TB, but this approach may expose TB patients with RIF mono-resistance disease to unnecessarily long and toxic treatment regimens. We review what is currently known about RIF mono-resistant TB, its history and epidemiology, mechanisms of RIF resistance, available diagnostic techniques, treatment outcomes reported globally, and future directions for combatting this disease.
