Controlled comparison of BacT/Alert MB system, manual Myco/F lytic procedure, and isolator 10 system for diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Bacteremia.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
We compared the performance of the BacT/Alert MB system, that of the manual Bactec Myco/F Lytic procedure, and that of the Isolator 10 lysis-centrifugation system in the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteremia. Mean times to detection were 16.4 days for BacT/Alert MB versus 20.0 days for Myco/F Lytic, 16.5 days for BacT/Alert MB versus 23.8 days for Isolator 10, and 21.1 days for Bactec Myco/F Lytic versus 22.7 days for Isolator 10. There were no significant differences in yields. The mean (range) magnitude of mycobacteremia was 30.0 (0.4, 90.0) CFU/ml and was correlated with the time to positivity in the BacT/Alert MB system (r = -0.4920). M. tuberculosis bacteremia was detected more rapidly in a continuously monitored liquid blood culture system, but the mean time to positivity exceeded 3 weeks.
