Optimized Loading Dose Strategies for Bedaquiline When Restarting Interrupted Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Treatment.
Article in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Interruption of treatment is common in drug-resistant tuberculosis patients. Bedaquiline has a long terminal half-life; therefore, restarting after an interruption without a loading dose could increase the risk of suboptimal treatment outcome and resistance development. We aimed to identify the most suitable loading dose strategies for bedaquiline restart after an interruption. A model-based simulation study was performed. Pharmacokinetic profiles of bedaquiline and its metabolite M2 (associated with QT prolongation) were simulated for 5,000 virtual patients for different durations and starting points of treatment interruption. Weekly bedaquiline area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and M2 maximum concentration (
