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

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are well-established pulmonary pathogens across all demographics; conversely, pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) represent rare and potentially life-threatening vascular complications. The pathophysiological association between chronic NTM infection and the development of PAAs remains largely underexplored. A 69-year-old man with a history of untreated NTM infection presented to our facility with a chief complaint of hemoptysis. Initial diagnostic imaging suggested the presence of a PAA in a branch of the pulmonary artery. Consequently, a multidisciplinary consultation ensued to determine the true structural classification of the lesion, weighing a PAA against an acquired, infection-mediated pseudoaneurysm. Subsequent bronchoscopy and culture analysis of the bronchial lavage fluid grew
