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

Medical treatment of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) disease has highly variable outcomes. Despite the use of multiple antibiotics, sputum clearance is often difficult to achieve, especially in cases with macrolide resistant NTM infection. Immunocompromised patients and those with structural lung disease are at increased risk, although occurrence in immunocompetent patients without structural lung disease is well recognised. Most pulmonary NTM disease involves EDUCATIONAL

aimsTo critically review the literature describing the use of surgery in the treatment of pulmonary disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).To assess the outcomes and complications observed with different surgical approaches used in the treatment of pulmonary NTM disease.
