Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterial Infections of the Skin and Soft Tissue in a Chinese Population: A Retrospective Analysis of 15 Cases.

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: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are increasingly recognized but underdiagnosed in China. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 15 confirmed cases of NTM SSTIs treated at a southern Chinese hospital from 2012 to 2022. Clinical data, including demographics, clinical presentations, comorbidities, diagnostic methods, treatment regimens, and outcomes, were collected and analyzed. Diagnostic efficacy of conventional culture and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was compared. Results: The median age of patients was 57 years, and 66.7% were farmers. Pathogens identified included Conclusion: NTM SSTIs present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, with clinical variability and frequent association with immunocompromised states.
