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

Personalised medicine, in which clinical management is individualised to the genotypic and phenotypic data of patients, offers a promising means by which to enhance outcomes in the management of mycobacterial pulmonary infections. In this review, we provide an overview of how personalised medicine approaches may be utilised to identify patients at risk of developing tuberculosis (TB) or non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD), diagnose these conditions and guide effective treatment strategies. Despite recent technological and therapeutic advances, TB and NTM-PD remain challenging conditions to diagnose and treat. Studies have identified a range of genetic and immune factors that predispose patients to pulmonary mycobacterial infections. Molecular tests such as nucleic acid amplification assays and next generation sequencing provide a rapid means by which to identify mycobacterial isolates and their antibiotic resistance profiles, thus guiding selection of appropriate antimicrobials. Host-directed therapies and therapeutic drug monitoring offer ways of tailoring management to the clinical needs of patients at an individualised level. Biomarkers may hold promise in differentiating between latent and active TB, as well as in predicting mycobacterial disease progression and response to treatment.
