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

Background: Signs and symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) are a result of a disturbed balance between Methods: Data from the WHO for all countries worldwide ( Results: After 2012, the number of MDR and XDR cases increased faster than the total number of TB cases, as did their proportions among the total. Success rates of MDR (∼70%) and XDR (around 60%) treatments would hypothetically increase to around 90%, when supplemented by sanatoria treatment success. Conclusions: Adding treatments for increasing tolerance to TB infection to the current pharmacological treatments may improve outcomes.
