Association of Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors with the Risk of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infection in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) are proposed as a risk factor for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection. Limited research investigates NTM infection risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with TNFi compared to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), considering other concurrent or prior non-TNFi antirheumatic drugs. We aimed to evaluate the NTM infection risk associated with TNFi using a real-world database. Patients with RA treated with TNFi or csDMARDs between 2005 and 2016 were identified utilizing the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. To minimize potential bias, we aligned the initiation year of csDMARDs for both TNFi and csDMARD users and tracked them from their respective treatment start dates. The association of TNFi with NTM infection risk was estimated in a one-to-one matched cohort using a multivariable conditional Cox regression analysis. In the matched cohort (
