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 in vivo activities of KRM-1648 alone or in combination with both ethambutol (EB) and kanamycin (KM) or clarithromycin (CAM) were tested against Mycobacterium intracellulare infections in beige mice. KRM-1648 was more active than rifampin (RFP) when each drug was used alone, and the efficacy of KRM-1648 was similar to those of both kanamycin and clarithromycin. The combination KRM-1648-KM-EB was strongly active and rapidly reduced the numbers of bacilli both in lungs and in spleens compared with RFP-KM-EB. The combination KRM-1648-CAM had greater therapeutic effects than RFP-CAM; this difference in efficacy was more pronounced for lungs than for spleens. These findings suggest that KRM-1648 is a promising candidate for combination therapy with other potent antimycobacterial drugs.
