Necrotizing Cervical Lymphadenitis Caused by Mycobacterium simiae in an HIV-Positive Patient: Imaging with (18)F-FDG PET/CT.
Article in Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Mycobacterium simiae (M. simiae) is an opportunistic pathogen rarely associated with human disease, although in recent years M. simiae has been detected with increasing frequency in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, usually causing disseminated infection with fever, diarrhea and weight loss. We report the case of an HIV-positive man, who was referred for an (18)F-FDG PET/CT to evaluate a solitary pulmonary nodule. The PET/CT showed incidental large necrotic cervical lymph nodes, compatible with necrotizing cervical lymphadenitis. Biopsy and culture of one of the affected lymph nodes were positive for M. simiae. We present the first report of (18)F-FDG PET/CT imaging of an infectious process caused by M. simiae in humans.
