QcrB inhibitor Q203 (Telacebec) can synergize with clofazimine and clarithromycin to control a Mycobacterium avium infection.
Article in PloS one, 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
The targeting of the mycobacterial electron transport chain for drug development has recently garnered significant clinical success. The cytochrome bcc complex within the electron transport chain has emerged as a viable drug target, with the antibiotic Q203 (Telacebec) showing excellent activity against M. tuberculosis in vitro and in vivo. To determine if Q203 can function as an antibiotic against the non-tuberculosis mycobacteria M. avium and M. intracellulare (MAC), MIC and bactericidal studies were performed, both against various laboratory and clinical strains of MAC as well as in vivo infection studies. These studies found that Q203 provides synergistic activity against all tested MAC isolates when combined with clarithromycin and provided significant added benefit in a acute M. avium mouse infection model when combined with clarithromycin and clofazimine.
