Deciphering the possible role of MmpL7 efflux pump in SQ109 resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Article in Annals of clinical microbiology and antimicrobials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSQ109 is a promising candidate drug for the treatment of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). The purpose of this study was to investigate the activity of SQ109 against clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) from patients with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and pre-extensively drug-resistant TB (pre-XDR-TB), and to explore new drug-resistant mechanisms of SQ109.
methodsWe evaluated the in vitro activity of SQ109 against clinical isolates from patients with MDR-TB and pre-XDR-TB using minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay. The drug-resistant gene, mmpL3 of SQ109-resistant strains was sequenced, and a quantitative real-time PCR assay was used to analyze 28 efflux pump genes in SQ109-resistant strains without mmpL3 mutations. The role of candidate efflux pumps mmpL5 and mmpL7 on the MIC of SQ109 was evaluated using recombinantly cloned MmpL5 and MmpL7 expressed in Mycobacterium smegmatis.
resultsThe MIC
conclusionsOur data demonstrated that SQ109 exhibited excellent levels of in vitro activity against MTB. MmpL7 may be a potential gene for MTB resistance to SQ109, providing a useful target for detecting SQ109 resistance in MTB.
