Clinical Implications of Time to Culture Conversion in
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. 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
Background: The optimal timing for assessing treatment response in Methods: We retrospectively included MAC-PD patients treated at Seoul National University Hospital between January 2011 and April 2024 who achieved culture conversion within 12 months of treatment initiation. Patients were categorized by time to culture conversion: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-180, and 181-360 days. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the impact of conversion timing on microbiological cure. Results: Among 440 patients, 294 (66.8%) achieved microbiological cure. Compared with those who converted within 30 days, patients who converted at 91-180 days (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.45; 95% CI, 0.24-.87; Conclusions: Failure to achieve culture conversion within 90 days was associated with a significantly lower likelihood of microbiological cure. These findings support the need for timely reassessment and potential modification of treatment strategies in patients who remain culture-positive beyond 90 days.
