Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections among patients suspected of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The purpose of this study was to present a retrospective analysis of the frequency of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)-related pulmonary infections among the AFB-positive and/or culture-positive patients in the Warsaw region who were suspected of tuberculosis (TB) and hospitalized in the university hospital between 1999 and 2005. All the AFB-positive pulmonary samples were examined with a molecular method using the Amplicor MTB test (Roche) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, and all mycobacterial isolates were speciated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of mycolic acids. Patients who met clinical, radiological, and bacteriological criteria of mycobacteriosis were classified according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines for diagnosis of NTM related disease. Among the 445 smear-positive or/and culture-positive patients, 142 subjects (31.9%) were found to be infected with M. tuberculosis. Among 303 non-TB patients, mycobacteriosis was found in 27 (8.9%) subjects. The frequency of NTM-related lung disease as compared to the bacteriologically-confirmed lung TB was estimated at 1:5. The rapid, precise methods of NTM speciation are necessary for progress in diagnostics of NTM related diseases.
