At Long Last: Short, All-Oral Regimens for Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in the United States.
Review in Open forum infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has historically required longer treatment regimens that were associated with higher unfavorable outcomes and side effects rates compared with drug susceptible TB (DS-TB). During the last decade, several studies conducted mostly in high-incidence settings have shown that MDR-TB can be successfully treated using all-oral shorter regimens of 6- to 9-month duration. In this article, we review the evolution of MDR-TB treatment from the early long regimens with injectables agents (IAs), followed by the shorter regimens with IA, to the groundbreaking, all-oral, 6- to 9-month regimens. Finally, we propose a framework for implementation of the shorter all-oral regimens in the United States.
