Transition between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria in recurrent "tuberculosis" patients.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Recurrence of tuberculosis (TB) is still a key issue in the control of tuberculosis. The presence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) complicates the diagnosis of recurrent TB due to similarity in clinical presentation. Herein, we have used molecular genotyping methods to identify mycobacteria species, and analyzed the characteristics of patients with transition between MTB and NTM. Eighty-nine patients with recurrent tuberculosis over the past 12 years were included in our analysis. We found that 9 patients had NTM infections during the study period. Six patients were infected with different mycobacterial strains, half of which were transformed from NTM to MTB, and the other half from MTB to NTM. In addition, the other 3 patients were infected with the same NTM species. Further WGS analysis showed that only one patient had a relapse and the remaining two were classified as reinfection. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that a proportion of previously diagnosed recurrent TB cases are attributed to the transition between MTB and NTM, highlighting the significance of species identification prior to initiation of treatment. The recurrence of mycobacterial diseases is majorly noted within 1 year after treatment completion.
