Evaluation of BACTEC MGIT 960 and BACTEC 460TB systems for recovery of mycobacteria from clinical specimens of a university hospital with low incidence of tuberculosis.

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
Clinical samples obtained over a period of 8 months (n = 2,624) were processed in parallel with the BACTEC 460TB system, with the MGIT 960 system, and in Löwenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium, resulting in the recovery of 127 mycobacteria. Recovery rates in combinations of the BACTEC 460TB or MGIT 960 system with LJ were, respectively, 94.7 and 94.7% for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (n = 57) and 91.4 and 70.0% for nontuberculous mycobacteria (n = 70). Contamination rates, elevated in the MGIT 960 system, were associated with patients (cystic fibrosis) and type of material but not with transport time. Detection time was reduced in the MGIT 960 system.
