Successful treatment of rapid growing mycobacterial infections with source control alone: Case series.
Article in IDCases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Rapid growing mycobacteria have been increasingly recognized as pathogens, both in immunocompromised and immunocompetent population, and their incidence has increased over the last decade significantly. Pulmonary infections are the most common, however, any organ can be affected. The treatment of these infections is costly, prolonged, and often antimicrobial resistance poses a significant challenge to a successful outcome. The source control together with antimicrobials is the cornerstone of treatment. We report a case series of 3 patients with extrapulmonary rapid growing mycobacterial infections in whom the successful treatment was achieved with source control alone.
