1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Given the high burden of Tuberculosis (TB) in China, the prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is significant. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of Methods: We collected 202 MDR-MTB strains from 3519 suspected pulmonary TB patients treated at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University between July 2019 and June 2021. Proportional drug-susceptibility testing was performed using 8 common anti-tuberculosis drugs. Subsequently, the genotypic drug resistance and genetic characteristics were analyzed by the WGS. Results: Lineages are identified by TB-profiler revealed 202 MDR-MTB strains, showcasing three predominant lineages, with lineage 2 being the most prevalent. Close genomic relatedness analysis and evidence of MTB transmission led to the formation of 15 clusters comprising 42 isolates, resulting in a clustering rate of 20.8%. Novelty, lineage 2.1 (non-Beijing) accounted for 27.2% of the MDR-MTB strains, which is rare in China and Neighboring countries. Regarding first-line anti-TB drugs, genes associated with rifampicin resistance, primarily the Conclusion: Our study provides crucial insights into genetic mutation types, genetic diversity, and transmission of MDR-MTB on Hainan Island, serving as a significant reference for MDR-MTB surveillance and clinical decision-making.
