Successful addition of topical antibiotic treatment after surgery in treatment-refractory nontuberculous mycobacterial skin and soft tissue infections.
Article in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Treatment of skin and soft tissue infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria sometimes fails despite repeated debridements and long-term systemic antibiotic therapy. These treatment-refractory infections can cause significant morbidity and pose a treatment challenge. Following surgery, we treated three patients with negative pressure wound therapy with the instillation and dwell time of topical antibiotics, in addition to systemic antibiotic treatment. Treatment was successful and well tolerated, except for some local irritation.
