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

Bedaquiline (BDQ) is the first-in-class United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) approved anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drug, which is a novel diarylquinoline antibiotic that has recently been utilized as an effective adjunct to existing therapies for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). BDQ is especially promising due to its novel mechanism of action, activity against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in addition to having the potential to shorten treatment duration. Drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) is a major concern in TB chemotherapy, especially with the increasing cases of CNS-TB. In this study, we investigated the CNS penetration of BDQ in healthy rodent brain. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (
