Epidemiological features and outcomes of patients with psoas abscess: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
backgroundPsoas abscess (PA) is an uncommon disease. Although PA is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, its epidemiology and clinical characteristics remain unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical features and outcomes of patients with PA in a prefectural-wide study. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a multicenter retrospective cohort study conducted between 2010 and 2012 in the Miyagi prefecture with a population of 2,344,062 in 2011. Adult patients with PA were enrolled from 71 secondary and tertiary care hospitals.
resultsThere were 57 patients with adult PA in the Miyagi prefecture. The median age of the patients was 72 years, and 67% patients were male. Fever and flank pain were the primary symptoms in 82% and 74% of patients, respectively. Ten patients (18%) had septic shock, and the hospital mortality rate was 12%. Secondary PA was present in 72% of cases, and the most common origin was pyogenic spondylitis. Of the patients with secondary PA, 44% had an epidural abscess. The most common pathogens were
conclusionIn the Miyagi prefecture of Japan, the estimated prevalence of PA was 1.21/100,000 population years and hospital mortality was 12%. Secondary PA accounted for more than 70% of the cases, and
