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 mageritense is a species of rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) found in environmental sources, possibly causing skin, soft tissue, and intravascular device infections. We encountered a case of prostatic abscess caused by M. mageritense that developed three months after transurethral resection of a bladder tumor. The patient was treated with antibiotics and underwent radical cystectomy. Prostatic abscesses due to RGM are rare, but may sometimes be overlooked. Mycobacterial cultures may be helpful in the diagnosis of culture-negative prostatic abscesses following these procedures.
