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

Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTMs) comprise a large group of organisms that are phenotypically diverse. Analysis of the growing number of completed NTM genomes has revealed both significant intra-genus genetic diversity, and a high percentage of predicted genes that appear to be unique to this group. Most NTMs have not been studied, however, the rise in NTM infections in several countries has prompted increasing interest in these organisms. Mycobacterial research has recently benefitted from the development of new genetic tools and a growing number of studies describing the genetic manipulation of NTMs have now been reported. In this review, we discuss the use of both site-specific and random mutagenesis tools in NTMs, highlighting the challenges that exist in applying these techniques to this diverse group of organisms.
