Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infection in Bronchiectasis: A Narrative Review of Current Status and Future.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 and Aims: Pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection and bronchiectasis are two distinct respiratory conditions, but bronchiectasis and pulmonary NTM infections are closely associated. NTM can cause bronchiectasis. However, bronchiectasis can create a favorable environment for NTM colonization and exacerbate the progression of NTM. Managing both conditions typically requires a comprehensive approach that addresses infection and the underlying structural lung damage. Methods: To perform this review, the author retrieved and assessed relevant articles related to NTM and bronchiectasis that have been published to date from databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Results: In this review, the close relationship between pulmonary NTM and bronchiectasis is described from the viewpoints of diagnosis, epidemiology, Conclusion: Timely diagnosis and management of NTM infections, especially in individuals with underlying risk factors, are essential to prevent disease progression and improve the quality of life of affected individuals.
