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

Background: Contezolid (CZD), a novel oxazolidinone, is a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 135 patients with DR-TB treated at Anhui Chest Hospital between January 2022 and September 2024, including 27 on CZD-based regimens and 108 on linezolid (LZD)-based regimens. Drug-related adverse events (AEs), including bone marrow suppression, peripheral neuropathy, optic neuritis, and gastrointestinal reactions, were systematically recorded. Therapeutic efficacy was comprehensively evaluated based on clinical symptoms, radiological findings, and microbiological results. The 12-month safety and efficacy of the two regimens in DR-TB were assessed. Results: The incidence of AEs in the LZD group reached 54.63%, significantly higher than the 3.7% observed in the CZD group (χ Conclusion: CZD may have clinical efficacy comparable to LZD in treating DR-TB, while appearing to offer an improved safety profile, notably in reducing bone marrow suppression and peripheral neuropathy.
