Mycobacterium microti--pulmonary tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Human tuberculosis is caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which includes M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum and M. bovis BCG. However there are increasing reports of rarely occurring genetic variants such as M. canettii, M. microti and M. pinipedii. The natural reservoir, mode of transmission and potential modification of host interaction of these species is not yet fully elucidated. We report a rare case of extensive cavitary smear-positive tuberculosis of the left lung caused by M. microti in an immunocompetent tuberculin-negative 68-year-old man. Transmission by a raccoon dog or raccoon as a novel M. microti reservoir was suspected. Spoligotyping of the isolate revealed the llama subtype. The strain exhibited no detectable drug resistance. Response to standard tuberculosis treatment, initially comprising isoniacid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol, was excellent. Delayed growth on solid media, specific phenotypic features and contact with animals should raise suspicion for this rare mycobacterial infection.
