Radiometric quantification of Mycobacterium avium complex.

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.
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
The purpose of this study was to establish a system that would allow rapid and reliable quantification of Mycobacterium avium complex infection with a method that was as sensitive as counting of colony-forming units but less time-consuming and safer in the laboratory. The radiometric system for quantification of mycobacteria (Bactec, Becton Dickinson, USA) which calculates growth curves, was found to be faster, safer, and as sensitive as the established method of counting colony-forming units, with a low intra-assay variation and a wide assay range. Furthermore, the calculated growth curves provided important additional information about replication characteristics of the mycobacteria.
