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

Background: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental organisms that become opportunistic pathogens in certain populations. NTM prevalence has increased globally, likely due to increased diagnostic testing and the availability of population-based studies. Current literature on oncology patients is minimal and represents a unique study area. Here we present the epidemiology and treatment of NTM infection cases at a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study of adults with microbiologically proven NTM infections presenting from 2020 to 2023. Epidemiologic and treatment-related data were retrieved from the electronic medical record and evaluated to illustrate institutional patterns. Results: A total of 93 patients met assessment criteria, with most (74 of 93 [80%]) having a past or active cancer. Conclusions: Our report offers one of the largest single-center epidemiologic perspectives on NTM infections in oncology patients. It offers unique insight into treatment practices in this population, particularly regarding dual β-lactam therapy.
