High Incidence of Psychiatric Disorders Associated with Cycloserine Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients: A Cohort Study in Beijing, China.

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
Objective: Cycloserine (CS) is a group B anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the treatment of drug-resistant (DR)-TB. Despite CS widespread acceptance and known efficacy, the high potential of drug-associated psychiatric disorders is a major concern to multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB patients. In this study, we investigated CS-associated psychiatric disorders in a cohort of MDR-TB patients in Beijing, China. Our aim was to determine psychiatric disorder prevalence rates and associated risk factors in this population. Methods: This MDR-TB cohort study was conducted at Beijing Chest Hospital between February 2018 and February 2021. All patients received individualized treatment regimens that included CS at some point during the full treatment course. Patient psychological status was assessed using the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) questionnaire during the post-treatment follow-up period. Results: Two hundred and thirty-seven MDR-TB patients were included in the final analysis. Overall, psychiatric disorders were recorded in 22 (9.28%) of the 237 patients in our cohort, with severity grades of 1 or 2 observed for the majority (8.44%) of psychiatric adverse events. As compared to results obtained for control group patients who were ≥40 years of age, patients who were <40 years of age (77.3%, 17/22) were more likely to experience psychiatric disorders [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 3.060; 95% CI (1.060-8.828)]. Additionally, patients with body mass index (BMI)s of <18.5 kg/m Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that approximately one-tenth of Chinese MDR-TB patients experienced psychiatric disorders during CS treatment, with the majority of adverse events of moderate severity. In addition, low BMI and age <40 years were identified as independent risk factors for psychiatric disorders in MDR-TB patients receiving CS therapy.
