Mycobacterial Infections of the Head and Neck.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Mycobacteria are important causes of head and neck infections. Mycobacterial lymphadenitis may be caused by both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a variety of nontuberculous myocbacteria. Changes in the epidemiology of tuberculosis have caused a shift of the peak age range of tuberculous lymphadenitis from childhood to ages 20 to 40 years. Short-course chemotherapy is highly effective. Mycobacterium avium has become the most common cause of nontuberculous lymphadenitis, but new mycobacterial species are increasingly recognized. Treatment consists primarily of complete surgical excision, although roles for antimycobacterial chemotherapy are being identified. Transient flares of mycobacterial lymphadenitis, which occur during initiation of antituberculous therapy and in HIV-infected patients after initiation of antiretroviral therapy, may respond to short courses of corticosteroids. Tuberculous otitis media has become uncommon. Otitis media due to nontuberculous mycobacterial infection is increasingly seen in patients with pre-existing ear disease and after surgical and otic interventions. Tuberculosis of the eye has also become uncommon but may occur via hematogenous dissemination or direct innoculation. Nontuberculous mycobacteria, most commonly Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium fortuitum, may cause keratitis, usually after some form of corneal trauma.
