Anti-Infection of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Combined with Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 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
Background: Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) combined with non-tuberculous Mycobacteria-pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) are very rare in the clinic, and our case is the first patient with NPC combined with NTM-PD. For oncologists, rapid control of the symptoms of infection is essential to the treatment of the primary disease. Case Presentation: A 58-year-old man who developed a NTM-PD after chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Granulocytosis after chemotherapy is a major factor in the development of various infectious diseases. Nasopharyngeal tumor was found on MRI of the patient's head, and nasopharyngeal malignant tumor was considered after pathological examination after endoscopic resection of intranasal lesion, and then nasopharyngeal non-keratonic carcinoma (T4N1M0, stage IV) was confirmed in the department of oncology. The patient developed bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy and was admitted to hospital due to septic shock. Chest CT examination indicated pulmonary infection, and empirical antibiotic treatment was not effective. The NGS results showed that the patient was infected with Mycobacterium abscess. We treated with cefoxitin followed by moxifloxacin to reduce the lung lesions significantly. Conclusion: NPC with NTM-PD is very rare, and the treatment of NTM-PD is very important for the prognosis of the patient's primary disease. Our study provides experience for anti-infection treatment of patients with immunosuppression.
