Language and racial disparities in treatment initiation for patients with pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacteria.
Article in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveDisparities in testing and treatment of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria (P-NTM) warrant further investigation into language and race's impact on treatment initiation. The objective of the study is to compare the length of treatment initiation for P-NTM patients assessed in the pulmonary and infectious diseases clinics through language and race.
resultsThe cohort included 63 patients; 28 patients received treatment, and 35 patients did not receive treatment. According to the IDSA/ATS guidelines for diagnosis of pulmonary NTM, 55% of patients met all three categories, 40% of patients did not fulfill all three categories and 5% of patient charts were inconclusive. Charts were considered inconclusive if a comprehensive NTM evaluation was not conducted, such as no CT imaging, only one culture sent, or lost to follow up.
