Preserved Spermatogenesis and Hormonal Function in Men Receiving a Pretomanid Regimen (BPaMZ) for Pulmonary Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis.

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
Pretomanid is a component of the World Health Organization-recommended treatment regimen for drug-resistant tuberculosis in patients aged ≥ 14 years. While preclinical rodent studies identified testicular toxicity as a potential clinical liability at elevated doses, no corresponding effects were observed in nonhuman primates nor clinical hormone assessments. This phase 2 clinical trial assessed testicular safety of therapy with bedaquiline, pretomanid, moxifloxacin, and pyrazinamide in 26 adult males with drug-resistant tuberculosis recruited from South Africa and Georgia. The study included 26 weeks of treatment followed by 52 weeks of safety monitoring until study week 78. The primary endpoint measured change in total sperm count from baseline at week 26, with secondary endpoints evaluating sperm concentration, semen volume, and reproductive hormone concentrations. Results demonstrated favorable testicular safety outcomes. Mean total sperm count increased from 48.8 to 68.8 × 10
