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

Patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD) have increased mortality. The impact of NTM species on the risk of mortality remains unclear, especially that of death by non-cancer causes. We conducted a retrospective cohort study from 2006 to 2018 in a tertiary-care hospital in Taiwan. We enrolled patients who fulfilled the microbiological diagnostic criteria of NTM-LD. The mortality causes within 8 years after diagnosis were identified, and the Cox proportional hazard regression was performed for risk factors of mortality. A total of 1,652 subjects with NTM-LD were included. Among them, 723 (43.8%) were infected by
