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

In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) in whom surgical operation was required to suppress disease progression. M.i.198 shows progressive illness in infected mice in terms of bacterial load, inflammation, and by high-dose inoculation, mortality as well. Although M.i.198 is resistant to clarithromycin, the pathogenicity of M.i.198 in mice indicates the high potency for use to evaluate drug efficacies in vivo. Furthermore, M.i.198 can be genetically manipulated, which is quite different from other MAC strains, especially those of M. avium subsp. hominissuis. We herein report the bacteriological findings, experimental virulence and functional genomic features of M.i.198 with a small review of MAC strains used for animal models of MAC-PD.
