Unveiling the Clinical Diversity in Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) Infections: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Once considered rare, nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections have garnered increasing attention in recent years. This comprehensive review provides insights into the epidemiology, clinical diversity, diagnostic methods, treatment strategies, prevention, and emerging research trends in NTM infections. Key findings reveal the global prevalence of NTM infections, their diverse clinical presentations affecting respiratory and extra-pulmonary systems, and the diagnostic challenges addressed by advances in microbiological, radiological, and immunological methods. Treatment complexities, especially drug resistance and patient adherence, are discussed, along with the vulnerability of special populations. The importance of early detection and management is underscored. Prospects in NTM research, including genomics, diagnostics, drug development, and multidisciplinary approaches, promise to enhance our understanding and treatment of these infections. This review encapsulates the multifaceted nature of NTM infections, offering a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, and public health professionals.
