Patterns of Drug Resistance and Treatment Outcomes in Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients in Fuyang City: A Three-Year Retrospective Study.

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
Objective: This study aimed to analyze drug resistance patterns and inpatient medication utilization among drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) patients in Fuyang City (2021-2023), and to identify factors associated with unsuccessful treatment outcomes in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients, to inform outcome-based local prevention and control strategies. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent drug susceptibility testing (DST) for Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the Second People's Hospital of Fuyang City from January 2021 to December 2023. Patients with resistance to any first-line anti-tuberculosis drug were included. Chi-square tests were used to compare drug resistance and medication utilization between initial and retreatment cases. Binary logistic regression identified factors associated with MDR-TB treatment outcomes. A Results: Among 181 DR-TB patients, 120 were initial treatment and 61 retreatment cases. MDR-TB accounted for the highest proportion (40.88%, 74/181). Ethambutol showed the highest resistance prevalence (69.61%), followed by isoniazid (64.64%), rifampicin (51.38%), and streptomycin (33.70%). First-line drugs were used significantly more frequently in initial treatment than retreatment patients ( Conclusion: DR-TB remains a significant burden in Fuyang City, with high first-line drug resistance rates, a high proportion of MDR-TB exhibiting complex resistance profiles, and suboptimal treatment success. Bedaquiline-containing regimens are protective against poor outcomes.
