Discordance between genotypic and phenotypic methods for the detection of rifampicin and isoniazid resistant
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Accurate drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 57 stored MTB isolates with known Xpert RIF resistance status (45 RIF resistant and 12 RIF susceptible) at Jimma University Mycobacteriology Research Center from November 2, 2021, to December 28, 2022. We did MTBDR Results: Among the 57 MTB isolates, six (10.5 %) had discordant results between the two DST methods. Xpert yielded five discordant results for RIF when compared with phenotypic DST (kappa coefficient (κ) = 0.76, 95 % confidence interval 0.56-0.96). The MTBDR Conclusions: Discordance between genotypic and phenotypic DST for RIF or INH occurred in 10.5 % of isolates. Only one patient with discordant results has received an inappropriate treatment regimen, resulting in an unfavorable outcome. The impact of parallel use of rapid molecular assay with phenotypic DST on patient treatment outcomes requires further study.
