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

The global burden of human disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is steadily increasing. Using our unique historical collection of freeze-dried mycobacterial isolates at the Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, we investigated long-term trends in NTM clinical relevance and species distribution in Denmark over the past seven decades. A total of 666 historical NTM isolates from human samples collected between 1948 and 1978 were compared with 1,820 contemporary isolates identified during routine diagnostics from 2013 to 2022. Species identification was performed for all isolates using the GenoType CM and AS line-probe assays. Among historical isolates, 16 different species were identified, with the majority classified as
