1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 neoaurum is a rare cause of bacteremia, predominantly affecting immunocompromised hosts with indwelling catheters. A 75-year-old man receiving high-dose methotrexate therapy for primary central nervous system lymphoma without a central venous catheter (CVC) presented with fever. The acid-fast bacilli isolated from his blood cultures were identified as M. neoaurum through 16S rRNA sequencing. Despite broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy, the patient developed persistent pancytopenia and toxic epidermal necrolysis, which ultimately led to multiple organ failure. M. neoaurum should be considered a potential pathogen in immunocompromised hosts, even in the absence of a CVC. Rapid identification and appropriate antimicrobial selection are essential when mycobacteria are isolated from blood culture.
