Whole genome sequencing-based drug resistance predictions of multidrug-resistant
Article in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Rifampicin- or multidrug-resistant (RR/MDR) Methods: We compared WGS-based drug resistance-predictive mutations for 42 MTBC isolates from MDR-TB patients in Tanzania with the MICs of 14 antibiotics measured in the Sensititre™ MycoTB assay. An isolate was phenotypically categorized as resistant if it had an MIC above the epidemiological-cut-off (ECOFF) value, or as susceptible if it had an MIC below or equal to the ECOFF. Results: Overall, genotypically non-wild-type MTBC isolates with high-level resistance mutations (gNWT-R) correlated with isolates with MIC values above the ECOFF. For instance, the median MIC value (mg/L) for rifampicin-gNWT-R strains was >4.0 (IQR 4.0-4.0) compared with 0.5 (IQR 0.38-0.50) in genotypically wild-type (gWT-S, Conclusions: WGS-based drug resistance prediction worked well to rule-in phenotypic drug resistance and the absence of second-line drug resistance-mediating mutations has the potential to guide the design of RR/MDR-TB regimens in the future.
