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
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) thrives in various environments and mainly causes lung disease in humans. Because macrolide antibiotics such as clarithromycin or azithromycin are key drugs for MAC lung disease, the emergence of macrolide-resistant strains prevents the treatment of MAC. More than 95% of macrolide-resistant MAC strains are reported to have a point mutation in 23S rRNA domain V. This study successfully developed a melting curve assay using nonfluorescent labeled probes to detect the MAC mutation at positions 2058 to 2059 of the 23S rRNA gene (AA genotype, clarithromycin susceptible; TA, GA, AG, CA, AC, and AT genotypes, clarithromycin resistant). In the AA-specific probe assay, the melting peak of the DNA fragment of the AA genotype was higher than that of DNA fragments of other genotypes. Melting temperature (
