Pharmacokinetics of Antituberculosis Drugs in Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid in a Patient with Pre-Extensive Drug Resistant Tuberculosis Meningitis.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Drug-resistant tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most devastating and critical form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old male with pre-extensive drug-resistant tuberculosis meningitis (pre-XDR-TBM). He underwent emergency surgery for the long-tunneled external ventricular drainage (LTEVD). Molecular test and phenotypic drug sensitivity test (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed that the isolate was resistant to both rifampin and fluoroquinolones. An anti-tuberculous regimen of isoniazid, pyrazinamide, cycloserine, moxifloxacin, clofazimine, and linezolid was tailored accordingly. We monitored the drug concentration in his plasma and CSF before (at 0-hour) and after anti-TB drugs administration (at 1-hour, 2-hour, 6-hour, and 12-hour) on 10
