Long-term successfull management of recurrent episodes of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection in an apparently healthy Chinese woman.
Article in Annals of clinical microbiology and antimicrobials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDisseminated non-tuberculous mycobacteria (dNTM) infections are mostly reported among individuals with an underlying congenital or acquired immunodeficiency or receiving immunosuppressive treatment, but are rarely documented in otherwise healthy subjects. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of recurrent disseminated mycobacterial infection in an apparently immunocompetent Chinese woman. Mycobacterium szulgai and Mycobacterium avium-complex were identified in distinct episodes. Long-term antimycobacterial therapy was administered given the occurrence of recurrent events when off-treatment. Successful management over more than 10 years and immunologic data are reported.
conclusionsThis case-report highlights that dNTM should be suspected also among apparently immunocompetent hosts and that thorough assessment of underling immune-impairments is helpful to define patients' management. Long-term antimycobacterial therapy and close monitoring is required to grant successful outcomes in case of recurrent dNTM infections.
