Phenotyping Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease: Comparative Analysis of Clinical and Imaging Features in a TB-Endemic Setting.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objective: To systematically analyze clinical features and imaging characteristics of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) patients in a tuberculosis specialty setting, establishing diagnostic and management references. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 204 NTM-PD cases admitted to our tuberculosis department from January 2018 to December 2023, evaluating clinical manifestations, mycobacterial speciation, and radiological patterns. Results: The cohort comprised 118 males and 86 females (mean age 65.34 ± 13.23 years), predominantly rural residents (63.24%). Common comorbidities included previous pulmonary tuberculosis (58.33%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (41.67%), and bronchiectasis (36.76%). Primary clinical manifestations were productive cough (78.92%), dyspnea (25.98%), and hemoptysis (24.5%). Conclusion: NTM-PD primarily affects elderly populations with chronic respiratory symptoms, demonstrating extensive pulmonary involvement across multiple lobes. The disease exhibits characteristic radiological triad of nodules, cavitations, and bronchiectasis, with MAC being the predominant pathogen in this cohort.
