Article in IDCases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

conclusionsA rapidly spreading wound infection presenting two or more weeks after a cosmetic procedure that fails to respond to standard antimicrobial therapy should raise suspicion for NTM infection. Samples for acid-fast bacilli smear, cultures, and PCR from infected tissue should be taken. Surgical drainage and debridement are recommended along with a long course of antibiotics. In the absence of clinical trials, a combination of amikacin, imipenem, and clarithromycin may be an adequate initial treatment for
