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

backgroundNon-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental microorganisms and opportunistic pathogens in individuals with pre-existing lung conditions such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis. While recent studies of

methodsTo investigate the potential for transmission of the

resultsWe identified putative transmission clusters in three MAC species, although few epidemiological links could be identified. For

conclusionsCF and non-CF patients shared transmission chains, although the lack of epidemiological links suggested that most transmission is indirect and may involve environmental intermediates or asymptomatic carriage in the wider population.
