Mycobacterium phocaicum and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare in a patient with hot tub lung.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2015. 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
A 77-year-old woman who used her spa pool at least twice a day to relieve pain from osteoarthritis, developed progressive breathlessness, impaired pulmonary function, and radiographic changes consistent with hypersensitivity pneumonitis-like lung disease. M ycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) was cultured from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Transbronchial biopsies revealed non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Sputum and spa pool water cultured M ycobacterium phocaicum but not MAC. She stopped using the spa pool and was treated with oral prednisone, which led to symptomatic, pulmonary function, and radiographic improvement. This is the first case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis-like granulomatous lung disease associated with exposure to M . phocaicum in spa pool water.
