1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 immunogenum is a member of the rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria and is a relatively new species identified within this group. An 81-year-old immune-competent male was diagnosed with M. immunogenum infection of his peritoneal dialysis catheter exit site and surrounding soft tissue. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of M. immunogenum infection of a peritoneal catheter. Treatment included catheter removal, local surgical debridement, and combination antimicrobial therapy. Herein, we review literature describing antibiotic management of M. immunogenum, an organism for which optimal therapy is not defined.
