Mycobacterium fortuitum Infection Associated With Septic Arthritis and Mycobacteremia in a Dog From Northern California.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. 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
Mycobacterium fortuitum mycobacteremia and arthritis were diagnosed in a Briard dog from northern California. The dog was evaluated for lameness and had a history of immunosuppressive treatment and splenectomy for refractory immune thrombocytopenia. Cytological examination of synovial fluid from the right tarsus indicated marked suppurative inflammation with intralesional acid-fast bacteria. Mycobacterium fortuitum was cultured from joint fluid and blood; identification was based on PCR sequencing. Diagnosis was complicated by initial misidentification of the organism as an Actinomyces species. The dog was successfully treated with clarithromycin and enrofloxacin. The dog was later treated for a Grade III mast cell tumor of the thoracic limb with radiation therapy and chemotherapy and then died 2 years after the diagnosis of mycobacteremia because of extradural hemangiosarcoma of the spine.
