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

Objectives: The increasing burden of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) undermines global TB control efforts. Methods: This was a case series study conducted from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2024, in the Department of Pulmonology at Sylvanus Olympio University Teaching Hospital. Results: We report a series of three cases. Case 1: A 30-year-old man with a history of contact with an XDR-TB case was treated with a 20-month regimen. Culture conversion was achieved at the 3 Conclusions: XDR-TB is a curable disease. Early and accurate diagnosis allows for better selection of the most appropriate treatment strategy.
