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

purposeDisseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial (D-NTM) disease occurs primarily in immunocompromised hosts. However, these cases have rarely been reported in South Korea. This study aimed to describe the clinical manifestations, disease course, and underlying immune deficiencies of patients with D-NTM disease. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the cases of D-NTM disease from January 2005 to December 2019 at a tertiary referral hospital in South Korea. D-NTM disease was defined as a bloodstream infection or infection of two or more non-contiguous body organs with species identification.

resultsOf the 53342 mycobacterial samples from 23338 patients, extrapulmonary NTM was detected in 104 patients, and 3 (2.9%) were diagnosed with D-NTM disease.

conclusionD-NTM disease is rare in a tertiary referral center in South Korea. They occur primarily in immunocompromised patients at a relatively young age. Careful investigation of the underlying immune status is required when treating patients with D-NTM disease.
