Bedaquiline Resistance and Molecular Characterization of Rifampicin-Resistant

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
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and molecular characterization of bedaquiline (BDQ) resistance among rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) isolates collected from Zhejiang, China. Patients and Methods: A total of 245 RR-TB isolates were collected from 19 municipal TB hospitals in Zhejiang province, China between January and December 2021. Microplate assays were used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of BDQ. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on isolates with MIC values for BDQ ≥ 0.25 μg/mL. Results: Five (2.04%) BDQ-resistant strains were isolated from 245 tuberculosis patients. The resistance rate of BDQ was not correlated to the sex, age, treatment history, or occupation of patients. Four BDQ-resistant isolates and three BDQ-sensitive isolates were found to carry Conclusion: BDQ demonstrated strong in vitro antibacterial activity against RR-TB isolates, and the
