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

Nontuberculous mycobacteria are ubiquitous environmental bacteria that frequently cause disease in persons with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). The risks for NTM infection vary geographically. Detection of high-risk areas is important for focusing prevention efforts. In this study, we apply five cluster detection methods to identify counties with high NTM infection risk. Four clusters were detected by at least three of the five methods, including twenty-five counties in five states. The geographic area and number of counties in each cluster depended upon the detection method used. Identifying these clusters supports future studies of environmental predictors of infection and will inform control and prevention efforts.
