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

Introduction: The global incidence of Methods: This retrospective study included patients with cavitary MAC-PD who received an AMK-IV-containing regimen as initial therapy at Kurashiki Central Hospital between September 2021 and July 2024. AMK-IV dosing was adjusted based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The primary outcome was sputum culture conversion. Secondary outcomes included radiologic improvement, adverse events, recurrence, and all-cause mortality. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared between patients aged ≥75 and < 75 years. Results: Twenty-one patients were analyzed (aged ≥75 years, Conclusion: AMK-IV added to a standard regimen for cavitary MAC-PD may be effective and safe. In this TDM-guided protocol, favorable outcomes were observed despite lower peak concentrations than those generally recommended.
