Transcriptional Biomarkers for Treatment Monitoring of Pulmonary Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study in Indonesia.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Many blood-based gene expression biomarkers for monitoring tuberculosis (TB) treatment have been suggested so far, but promising biomarker results for drug-resistant TB treatment response have not been studied. This protocol presents a prospective observational study in Indonesia to profile the human blood transcriptome for predicting the response to drug-resistant TB treatment, focusing on pulmonary TB, and to adapt the specific RNA signature to the qRT-PCR platform. Longitudinal blood samples will be collected from 44 subjects with rifampicin resistant TB, confirmed by Xpert MTB/RIF, and 52 healthy controls. RNA-Seq will be performed to identify changes in the transcriptome following TB treatment. A discriminative RNA signature will be chosen and translated into a score for use in a quantitative PCR-based assay. This study will provide crucial information to guide the discovery and design of a clinically implementable tool to monitor the response of TB treatment.
