Oral rifampicin interferes with urine dipstick tests for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

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: Rifampicin (RMP) and its major metabolite, desacetyl rifampicin (dRMP), can interfere with urine dipstick tests (UDTs) in patients with tuberculosis (TB) who receive oral RMP. This study sought to examine the effects of RMP and dRMP on UDTs using 2 different urine dipsticks (i.e., Arkray's Aution Sticks 10EA and GIMA's Combi-Screen 11SYS Plus sticks). Methods: Urine colorimetry was applied to measure RMP concentrations and determine the range of total RMP concentration in the urine within 2-6 and 12-24 h of oral administration of RMP. In vitro interference assays and confirmatory tests were performed to evaluate the effects of RMP and dRMP on the analytes. Results: The total RMP concentration in the urine of the 40 TB patients analyzed as urine sample was 88-376 µg/mL within 2-6 h and 22-112 µg/mL within 12-24 h of oral administration of RMP. Interference was observed for different analytes at consistent or varied RMP concentrations between the Conclusions: RMP and dRMP interfered with the analytes of the UDTs using the 2 urine dipsticks in different levels.
