Clinical Presentations and Species Spectrum of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Suspected Pulmonary Tuberculosis Cases.
Article in Journal of global infectious diseases. 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
Introduction: The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is on the rise worldwide. The diagnosis of NTM lung disease (NTM-LD) is a dilemma. The 2020 guidelines jointly established by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) outline the criteria for diagnosing pulmonary NTM disease. Herein, we report a series of cases with an analysis of relevant literature to gain insight into the pathogenicity of NTM species, the risk factors involved, and treatment strategies. Methods: This is a prospective observational study starting from April 2023 to December 2023. A total of 370 suspected pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients were included. Clinical specimens were processed for Ziehl-Neelsen staining, GeneXpert Results: Nine ( Conclusion: People with comorbid (LDs) are at risk of NTM-LD. The severity of NTM-LD and mortality also depend on the species involved. New guidelines with evidence-based recommendations should be formulated to simplify the diagnosis and treatment of NTM-LD caused by an array of more than 190 species.
