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

Objective: To analyze the microbiological characteristics of extrapulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (ENTM) infections in a tertiary hospital and to provide data to support clinical diagnosis and treatment of ENTM infections. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on mycobacterial culture results from West China Hospital, Sichuan University from 2020 to 2023. A total of 68 confirmed cases of ENTM infection were enrolled, with all of which meeting the diagnostic criteria for extrapulmonary infection outlined in the Results: Among the 68 ENTM cases, the male-to-female ratio was 1 to 1.2, with individuals aged 40-59 years being the main affected group population. The most common sites of infection were the skin and soft tissues. The primary specimen source was pus (33.8%, 23 cases), followed by pathological tissues (26.5%, 18 cases). The Department of Infectious Diseases was the main source of confirmed cases (29.4%, 20 cases). Among the 68 EMTM cases, rapid-growing mycobacteria (RGM) accounted for 32.4% (22 cases), with Conclusion: In this study, ENTM infections most commonly involve the skin and soft tissues, with SGM being the predominant pathogens and
