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

Infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasing in prevalence worldwide, and this group of organisms is emerging as significant clinical pathogens. We present a case of a 58-year-old female with persistent furuncles of the breast who was found to have an NTM infection. This case is unique for the lack of risk factors for NTM in the patient's history, the location of the infection in the breast, and the close cooperation needed across disciplines to arrive at the diagnosis. This multi-disciplinary discussion considers the classic clinical presentation of NTM, it is a characteristic morphological appearance on histopathology, the differential diagnosis, treatment, and the ultimate outcome of the case. This case report and discussion will assist both clinicians and pathologists in the diagnosis of this important infectious disease.
