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

Early and accurate identification of causative microorganisms is essential for improving outcomes in peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis. However, nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) peritonitis remains difficult to diagnose and manage, often resulting in delayed treatment and unfavorable clinical outcomes. We conducted a scoping review to summarize the clinical features, microbiological profiles, treatment strategies, and outcomes of PD-associated NTM peritonitis. A total of 107 patients from 81 published reports were identified, including one patient treated at our institution. The mean age was 50.1 years, with a slight male predominance. Diabetes mellitus was the most common underlying cause of end-stage renal disease. Abdominal pain, fever, and cloudy dialysate were the most frequently reported symptoms, and exit-site infection was present in 55% of cases. Rapid-growing NTM species predominated, with
