Non-tuberculous mycobacterial PD peritonitis in Australia.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
purposePeritonitis can be a severe complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to associated morbidity and mortality. Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a rare cause of PD peritonitis, with high rates of catheter removal and conversion to haemodialysis, and a reported mortality as high as 40 %. The incidence, culprit NTM species, and outcomes associated with PD peritonitis have not been described in many countries, including Australia.
methodsWe examined the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry from 1 October 2003 to 31 December 2009 for all prevalent peritoneal dialysis patients. Patient characteristics, organisms, treatment and outcome for all NTM PD peritonitis episodes were obtained.
resultsTwelve cases of NTM PD peritonitis were reported, including the first reports of infection due to Mycobacterium hassiacum and Mycobacterium neoaurum. The incidence of NTM PD peritonitis was approximately 1 per 1000 PD patient-years. Recovery occurred in 11 patients, including 3 without removal of their Tenckhoff catheters. A range of antibiotics were utilised. One patient died of sclerosing peritonitis 5 months after diagnosis of PD peritonitis.
conclusionNon-tuberculous mycobacteria PD peritonitis is a rare cause of peritonitis, and mortality may be lower than previously reported. Catheter removal occurred in the majority of patients, and adverse outcomes were not observed for those in whom it was retained.
