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

Fluoroquinolones-the only clinically used DNA gyrase inhibitors-are effective against tuberculosis (TB) but are in limited clinical use for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung infections due to intrinsic drug resistance. We sought to test alternative DNA gyrase inhibitors for anti-NTM activity. Mycobacterium tuberculosis gyrase inhibitors (MGIs), a subclass of novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors (NBTIs), were recently shown to be active against the tubercle bacillus. Here, we show that the MGI EC/11716 not only has potent anti-tubercular activity but is active against M. abscessus and M. avium
