The Underestimated Threat-Mycobacterium Genavense Infection: A Case Report.
Article in Infectious disease reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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/
objectivesNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) represent a heterogeneous group of pathogens with increasing global prevalence and significant geographical variation in species distribution. NTM infections, often affecting immunocompromised individuals, are difficult to diagnose due to nonspecific clinical presentations and laboratory findings. This case study presents a rare extrapulmonary NTM infection in a 73-year-old man, initially misdiagnosed as sarcoidosis, highlighting the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by such infections.
methodsThe patient, a pigeon fancier, presented with recurrent fever and pancytopenia. Extensive diagnostics included blood cultures, bone marrow aspiration, and histopathology. Initial cultures and serological tests remained negative.
resultsBone marrow aspiration revealed epithelioid granulomas, initially leading to the provisional diagnosis of sarcoidosis. However, after six weeks,
conclusionsThis case underscores the diagnostic complexity of extrapulmonary NTM infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Misdiagnosis can delay appropriate treatment.
