Nontuberculous mycobacterial infection in Wisconsin children and adolescents.
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2024. 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
Background: The epidemiology of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections in the pediatric population is not well described. We estimated the incidence of NTM infection in Wisconsin children and adolescents, and the frequency and type of infection caused by different NTM pathogens. Associations between NTM infection and race/ethnicity and social disadvantage, respectively, were also investigated. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated reports of NTM infection in Wisconsin residents under 18 years of age submitted to a state-wide database between 2011 and 2018. Demographics of the cohort, including a social disadvantage score (Area Deprivation Index (ADI)), are described. Specimen type and NTM species are enumerated for reported isolates. Results: There were 224 NTM isolates from 212 children and adolescents. Median age of participants was 3 years; 55 % were female. Cumulative incidence did not vary significantly between the larger racial groups or for the various ADI score groups. Compared to white participants (157), there was a significantly lower cumulative incidence of NTM infection in multiracial individuals (2). Conclusions: The epidemiology of pediatric NTM infections in this cohort is consistent with previous pediatric reports of higher rate of infection in females and predominance of skin and soft tissue infections. Disparities in disease burden across racial/ethnic and socio-economic groups were not demonstrated, but these factors should be further explored in larger pediatric studies of diverse U.S. populations.
