Distribution of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterium Species in Pulmonary and Extrapulmonary Infections in South India-A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Microorganisms, 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
Differential diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is extremely challenging, especially in a high TB burden setting like India. A definitive diagnosis of NTM, along with additional speciation, is warranted to improve NTM management. Beyond the diagnosis of NTM and its speciation, clinical correlation is vital for differentiating NTM colonisation or contamination from disease. In this cross-sectional, retrospective analysis, both pulmonary and extrapulmonary samples from 1121 presumptive NTM patients from Tuberculosis Units across the country and from other private hospitals were included. Composite diagnosis were performed using X-rays, nucleic acid amplification tests, smear microscopy, and mycobacterial growth indicator tube cultures, with speciation of NTM isolates confirmed by line probe assay. Of the 1121 presumptive NTM patients, 66.0% were smear-negative, 44.7% had X-ray changes, and 98.0% were
