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

Fallopian tube carcinoma is frequently detected at an advanced stage, and its imaging findings and tumor marker profiles are often indistinguishable from those of ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental acid-fast bacilli with increasing clinical significance in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. Infection of gynecologic organs is extremely rare. This report describes a case of fallopian tube NTM infection caused by
