* Heterogeneity is tested with a Cox regression model that includes an interaction between treatment effect and subgroup.

# Rifampicin resistance: Tuberculosis resistant to rifampicin, with or without any other drug;

Isoniazid mono-resistance: Tuberculosis resistant to isoniazid, either alone or in combination with any drug except rifampicin; Susceptible to rifampicin and isoniazid: Tuberculosis susceptible to rifampicin and isoniazid, with or without resistance to other drugs.

XX/XX denotes the number of participants experiencing the event divided by the total number of participants in the treatment arm

CI=confidence interval. LTA4H= leukotriene A4 hydrolase. MRC=Medical Research Council.
