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

The activity of KRM-1648, alone and in combination with isoniazid, was compared with those of isoniazid, rifampin, and the combination of rifampin plus isoniazid in a murine model of tuberculosis. Four-week-old female CD-1 mice were infected intravenously with approximately 10(7) viable Mycobacterium tuberculosis ATCC 35801 organisms. Treatment was started 1 week postinfection and was given by gavage 5 days per week. The duration of the treatment phase was 12 weeks, with groups of mice sacrificed at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks. For the observation phase, additional groups of treated mice were sacrificed at 4, 8, 16, and 24 weeks after the cessation of treatment. Viable cell counts were determined from homogenates of the spleens and the right lungs. KRM-1648 was the most active single agent evaluated and resulted in no detectable CFUs in the spleens and lungs by the end of 6 weeks of treatment. Neither rifampin nor isoniazid reduced cell counts to undetectable levels, even after 12 weeks of treatment. The combination of KRM-1648 plus isoniazid was much more active than rifampin plus isoniazid. KRM-1648 plus isoniazid resulted in the apparent sterilization of organs at 6 months following the cessation of treatment. The promising activity of KRM-1648 may allow for ultrashort-course therapy of tuberculosis, i.e., treatment regimens of 4 months or less.
