An iliopsoas abscess caused by Parvimonas micra: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundParvimonas micra, a Gram-positive anaerobic coccus, is a rare pathogen for psoas abscess. We describe a case of a patient with iliopsoas abscess caused by P. micra. CASE PRESENTATION: An 81-year-old Asian man presented to our department with complaints of fever since the preceding day. Abdominal computed tomography revealed the presence of a low-density mass in the right iliopsoas muscle indicative of a psoas abscess. Computed tomography-guided percutaneous drainage of the psoas abscess was performed. Results of organism cultures of the abscess and blood were positive for P. micra. However, our patient had no known primary focus of infection. On the basis of these findings, a primary psoas abscess caused by P. micra was diagnosed, and treatment with ampicillin/sulbactam 1.5 g, administered intravenously every 8 h, was initiated. By day 7, the patient's white blood cell count normalized. By day 20, his C-reactive protein level was decreased to 0.35 mg/dl.
conclusionIliopsoas abscesses caused by anaerobic bacteria are relatively rare, and iliopsoas abscesses caused by P. micra are especially rare. Our patient's case revealed that P. micra can cause iliopsoas abscess. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the possibility that P. micra may cause iliopsoas abscess.
