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

Previous studies have identified whole-blood transcriptional risk and disease signatures for tuberculosis; however, several lines of evidence suggest that these signatures primarily reflect bacterial burden, which increases before symptomatic disease. We found that the peripheral blood transcriptome of mice with contained Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (CMTI) has striking similarities to that of humans with active tuberculosis and that a signature derived from these mice predicts human disease with accuracy comparable to that of signatures derived directly from humans. A set of genes associated with immune defense are up-regulated in mice with CMTI but not in humans with active tuberculosis, suggesting that their up-regulation is associated with bacterial containment. A signature comprising these genes predicts both protection from tuberculosis disease and successful treatment at early time points where current signatures are not predictive. These results suggest that detailed study of the CMTI model may enable identification of biomarkers for human tuberculosis.
