Drug Exposure Dictates Evolutionary Dynamics of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: A Longitudinal Cohort Study in Beijing, China.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2026. 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
Background: Despite global efforts to combat drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB), key gaps remain in understanding how resistance amplifies during treatment and the role of collateral drug effects in this process. Resistance amplification complicates management and undermines outcomes. This study aimed to identify the risk factors and collateral drug effects contributing to resistance amplification. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, longitudinal cohort study of 133 DR-TB patients with paired phenotypic drug susceptibility tests (pDSTs) at Beijing Chest Hospital in Beijing, China, from January 2018 to January 2023. Patients were classified into "progression" and "non-progression" groups based on acquisition of new drug resistance. Multivariable logistic regression identified risk factors, and a restrictive cohort analysis assessed collateral drug effects. Results: The median number of resistances per isolate increased significantly from 7.0 (IQR 5-9) to 8.0 (IQR 6-10) ( Conclusion: Resistance amplification during DR-TB treatment is frequent, with INH-Mono representing a high-risk transitional state. While BDQ may offer a protective effect, the strong collateral association between PZA and Rfb resistance highlights the need for careful regimen design. These findings underscore the importance of individualized, resistance-informed therapy to mitigate further resistance amplification in DR-TB patients.
