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) is the most deadly infectious disease globally. Although most individuals achieve a cure, a substantial portion develop multi-drug resistant TB which is exceedingly difficult to treat, and the number of effective agents is dwindling. Development of new anti-tubercular medications is imperative to combat existing drug resistance and accelerate global eradication of TB. Pretomanid (PA-824) represents one of the newest drug classes (ie, nitroimidazooxazines) approved in 2019 by the United States Food and Drug Administration as part of a multi-drug regimen (with bedaquiline and linezolid, BPaL) and recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to treat extensively-resistant (XR-TB) and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Approval was granted through the FDA's Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs, which accelerates approval for antimicrobial drugs used to treat life-threatening or serious infections in a limited population with unmet need. This review details the pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of this new agent and describes evidence to date for its role in the treatment of drug resistant TB including published, ongoing, and planned studies.
