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

Limited data are available regarding the in vitro activity of clofazimine against nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) or on outcomes of clofazimine-containing regimens in NTM-pulmonary disease (PD). Therefore, we evaluated the in vitro activity of clofazimine and the clinical outcomes of clofazimine-containing regimens. We evaluated clofazimine in vitro activity for 303 NTM isolates from NTM-PD patients. Fifty-seven clarithromycin-resistant and 35 amikacin-resistant isolates were also analyzed. Culture conversion after a 12-month treatment regimen containing clofazimine was evaluated in 58 NTM-PD patients, including 20 patients with drug-resistant isolates. Most of the 303 isolates (238/303) had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ≤ 0.25 µg/mL for clofazimine (57/63
