Comparison of the MB/BacT and BACTEC 460 TB systems for recovery of mycobacteria from various clinical specimens.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
A total of 1,830 specimens (75.7% respiratory and 24.3% nonrespiratory) were cultured in parallel with the MB/BacT and BACTEC 460 TB systems and on Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium. Mycobacteria were identified from 173 (6.5%) specimens. The most common species recovered were Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (65. 9%), Mycobacterium avium complex (22.5%), and Mycobacterium chelonae (9.2%). The recovery rates by individual systems were 96.5, 99.4, and 95.9% for MB/BacT, BACTEC 460 TB, and LJ medium, respectively, for all mycobacteria; the recovery rates were 99.1, 100, and 98.2%, respectively, for M. tuberculosis complex alone. The difference among the recovery rates for all mycobacteria and those for individual species was not significant. The BACTEC 460 TB system detected M. tuberculosis isolates more rapidly than the MB/BacT system (8 versus 11.8 days for smear-positive specimens [P < 0.01] and 18 versus 21 days for smear-negative specimens [P < 0.05]), whereas the MB/BacT system more rapidly detected the nontuberculous mycobacteria (17.1 versus 12.7 days [P < 0.01]). These results indicate that the nonradiometric MB/BacT system is a rapid, sensitive, and efficient method for the recovery of M. tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria from both pulmonary and extrapulmonary clinical specimens.
