Article in IDCases, 2026. 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
Background: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) due to nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is an uncommon phenotype of NTM pulmonary disease, classically linked to hot tub or pool exposure. We report a steroid-dependent case of HP-type Case presentation: A 79-year-old man with a 16-pack-year smoking history presented with progressive dyspnea on exertion. High-resolution CT showed bilateral peripheral ground-glass opacities, and serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 was markedly elevated. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid demonstrated lymphocytic predominance with an increased CD4/CD8 ratio, fulfilling criteria for probable HP. Prednisolone induced clinical and radiological improvement; however, repeated attempts at tapering resulted in relapse with new ground-glass opacities in the right middle lobe and rising biomarkers. Although Conclusion: Antigen avoidance combined with azithromycin and ethambutol led to sustained clinical and radiological improvement and successful steroid tapering without restrictive ventilatory impairment. This case underscores the importance of routinely sending mycobacterial cultures from bronchoalveolar lavage in suspected HP and of carefully reassessing environmental exposures, even in outdoor settings, as identifying NTM as the causative antigen can substantially modify management.
