Mouse models of tuberculosis uniformly featuring hypoxic necrotic lesions and poor response to chemotherapy.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mouse models have been key to studies of tuberculosis pathogenesis and drug efficacy, but many, such as those employing BALB/c mice, fail to reproduce the full range of heterogenous microniches observed in well-structured human lesions, which feature hypoxic caseous cores of necrotic debris surrounded by infected foamy macrophages. The granuloma presents a variety of environments differing in levels of oxygen, ions, nutrients, and intra versus extracellular residence, which determine the physiological state of the infecting bacillus and its susceptibility to immune or drug control. Recently, alternative mouse strains such as C3HeB/FeJ have allowed the study of infection and treatment in the context of these varied environments but exhibit substantial inconsistency in the development of hypoxic necrotic lesions, both within and between individual mice. Building on the observation that inducible nitric oxide synthase (
