Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in a Brazilian pediatric population: a seven-year survey.
Article in Pathogens and global health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolation and their related outcomes among pediatric patients of a Brazilian university hospital from 2012 to 2019. NTM were identified in different clinical samples by microbiological culture and molecular-based methods. NTM were isolated from 14 patients, out of whom four (27%) were infected and were treated accordingly. Two were infected with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), two with M. abscessus complex (MABSC) and one with M. intracellulare. Two patients had cystic fibrosis-related lung disease and improved after successful NTM eradication. One patient was HIV-positive and died. One patient had severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-related pneumonia and is currently being followed-up. We conclude that NTM frequency in our center was low among pediatric patients. Whether this is inherent to Brazilian patients, due to the broad coverage of the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine in Brazil, or a result of underdiagnosis remains to be elucidated.
