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 and Objectives: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), especially Materials and Methods: A total of 223 sputum samples collected from presumptive pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Untreated sputum samples were inoculated onto RGM medium with selective antibiotics and incubated at 30°C for 10 days. Suspected colonies were confirmed by Ziehl-Neelsen staining. Identification was performed by PCR and sequencing of Results: Among the 223 sputum samples processed, 7.6% (17/223) demonstrated positive growth on RGM medium. Of the culture-positive isolates, 64.7% (11/17) were identified as Conclusion: RGM medium demonstrated good utility for recovery of clinically significant rapidly growing mycobacteria, particularly
