Rapid clinical detection of mycobacterial infections using M-Typer and flow-injection tandem mass spectrometry.
Article in IJTLD open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesWe evaluated the utility of the M-Typer® assay, based on flow-injection tandem mass spectrometry mycolic acid profiling, in the diagnosis of TB and other mycobacterial infections.
methodsThe ability of the M-Typer® assay to identify
resultsThe M-Typer® assay correctly classified all clinical strains as either DISCUSSION: The M-Typer® assay demonstrated diagnostic accuracy comparable to established methods, supporting its potential role in clinical microbiology for rapid, direct detection and species-level identification of mycobacteria. Nevertheless, its relatively low PPV indicates the need for further optimisation and validation in diverse clinical settings.
