Evaluation of whole-genome sequence to predict drug resistance of nine anti-

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
Setting: Controlling drug-resistant Objective: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has not been employed to comprehensively study Design: Drug resistance was predicted by WGS in a "TB-Profiler" web service after phenotypic drug susceptibility tests (DSTs) against nine anti-TB drugs among 59 clinical isolates. A comparison of consistency, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values between WGS and DST were carried out for each drug. Results: The sensitivities and specificities for WGS were 95.92 and 90% for isoniazid (INH), 100 and 64.1% for ethambutol (EMB), 97.37 and 100% for streptomycin (SM), 75 and 100% for amikacin (AM), 80 and 96.3%for capreomycin (CAP), 100 and 97.22% for levofloxacin (LFX), 93.33 and 90.91% for prothionamide (PTO), and 70 and 97.96% for para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS). Around 53 (89.83%) and 6 (10.17%) of the isolates belonged to lineage two (East-Asian) and lineage four (Euro-American), respectively. Conclusion: Whole-genome sequencing is a reliable method for predicting resistance to INH, RIF, EMB, SM, AM, CAP, LFX, PTO, and PAS with high consistency, sensitivity, and specificity. There was no transmission that occurred among the patients with RR-TB in Ningbo, China.
