Prevalence of non tuberculous mycobacterial infection in surgical site infections and their antibiotic susceptibility profile.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundSurgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections contributing to about 20% of all cases, thereby causing an increase in morbidity and financial burden. Causative organisms associated with SSIs have not changed greatly over the last 10-15 years; however, the proportions of different types of causative organisms have changed with an increase in case reports of rare organisms such as non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
methodsSamples received from patients with SSI were simultaneously cultured for the isolation of NTM along with routine bacteriological examination. On isolation of NTM, identification was carried out by biochemical tests, and further antibiotic susceptibility profile was determined by using RAPMYCO kit.
resultsSSI occurred in 3.95% of the 7675 surgeries performed during the study period of which 10.9% were caused owing to NTM. Only rapidly growing NTM were isolated of which,
conclusionNTM are an important cause of SSI having delayed presentation, are difficult to diagnose and often not treated correctly. Identification and susceptibility testing is important as different species respond differently to antimicrobial agents.
