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-tuberculous mycobacteria are uncommon pathogens in immunocompetent individuals. We report an unusual case of pneumonia with pleural effusion caused by co-infection with two species of non-tuberculous mycobacteria in an immunocompetent man in Nigeria. The case highlights the possibility of the occurrence of a disease caused by these pathogens in an unusual host in a setting where they are rarely isolated as well as the challenges faced in diagnosis.
