Temporal trend of drug-resistant tuberculosis among Thai children during 2006-2021.
Article in IJID regions, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: The prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) in adults has stabilized in the past decade. Our study aimed to describe the prevalence of DR-TB in Thai children between 2006 and 2021. Materials and methods: Children younger than 15 years old who had culture-confirmed Results: Among 163 confirmed TB cases (44% as pulmonary TB, 27% as extrapulmonary TB, and 29% with both), the median age (IQR) was 12.2 (7.3-14.2) years. DST was performed in 139 cases (85%), revealing prevalences of all DR-TB, isoniazid-resistant TB (Hr-TB), and rifampicin monoresistant/multidrug-resistant TB (Rr/MDR-TB) of 21.6% (95% CI 14.7-28.4), 10.8% (95% CI 5.6-16.0%), and 2.9% (95% CI 0.1-5.7%), respectively. The DR-TB rates did not differ significantly between 2006-2013, 2014-2018, and 2019-2021 ( Conclusion: The prevalence of DR-TB in Thai children was stable. However, one-tenth of DR-TB cases confirmed with DST were Hr-TB, which required adjustment of the treatment regimen. The pre-XDR cases should be closely monitored.
