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 information and literature exist examining pulmonary infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacterial specifically in an infant population. The objective of our study was to summarize clinical characteristics and outcomes of infant patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infection via systematic literature review to identify common diagnostic and treatment regimens for this infection in infants. A search of MEDLINE and PubMed databases in October 2019 using MeSH search terms "infant," "NTM," "pulmonary," and "Mycobacterium abscessus" yielded 139 articles. Inclusion criteria were i) English-language studies including cases and case series with ii) established nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infection in iii) a patient population of infants no older than 24 months. Patients with cystic fibrosis and any study which did not contain relevant information such as infection and age were excluded. This yielded data on 37 patients extracted from 28 studies analyzed. The most common strain was
