Non-tuberculous mycobacteria mimic of MDR-TB infection in Pott's disease.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 34 year-old woman presented with history of progressive back pain which was diagnosed as Pott's disease with recurrent paravertebral abscess, and had received a total of 23 months of antitubercular treatment for lumbar infection. The patient was non-responsive to treatment and was referred to a higher centre where the infection was finally identified as non-tuberculous mycobacterium (Mycobacterium fortuitum) by genotypic testing. The drugs were initiated according to results of drug susceptibility testing by the broth microdilution method. We describe here an unusual case of M. fortuitum infection that presented as Pott's disease identified by molecular test which was followed by treatment and successful cure of the disease.
