Dot in circle sign on MRI in foot mycetoma.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mycetoma or Maduramycosis is a chronic granulomatous infectious condition encountered mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. It affects the deep subcutaneous tissues, which may progress to involve the muscles and bones later in the course of the disease. It can be caused by fungi (eumycetoma), and bacteria (actinomycetoma) predominantly affecting the foot. Demonstration of the causative agent by biopsy and microbiological studies helps to establish a confirmative diagnosis, and choosing correct antimicrobial therapy. However, it may be delayed resulting in increased patient morbidity. Thus, imaging plays a vital role in early recognition & prompt treatment, especially MRI which is a non-invasive procedure demonstrating the hallmark dot in circle sign. Here we report a case of mycetoma foot with pathognomic MRI findings.
