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: In this study, we aimed to determine the transmission pattern of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) isolates circulating in Jiangxi Province with whole-genome sequencing (WGS). In addition, we also sought to describe mutational resistome of MDR-TB isolates. Patients and Methods: A total of 115 MDR-TB isolates determined by the phenotypic proportion method of drug susceptibility testing between January 2018 and December 2022 from provincial drug surveillance (DRS) in Jiangxi were included in our analysis. The demographic data and treatment history were extracted from the National TB Registry System. WGS was used to analyze the genotypic characteristics of drug resistance and transmissions. Results: About 62.6% of MDR-TB strains were isolated from cases that received previous anti-tuberculosis treatment. According to the WGS results, 96.5% were genotypic MDR-TB, and more than half of MDR-TB isolates tested were also resistant to streptomycin (59.1%), ethambutol (56.5%), and fluroquinolones (53.0%), while resistance to cycloserine and linezolid was lowest, only in two (1.7%) and one (0.9%) isolate, respectively. Ser450Leu in Conclusion: MDR/Rifampicin-Resistant (RR)-TB epidemic in this region is driven by lineage 2 clade that also show higher resistance to other anti-tuberculosis drugs. Lower cluster rates compared with a relatively higher proportion of new MDR-TB cases indicate that a considerable number of MDR-TB cases remain undiagnosed.
