Infection of Mycoplasma hominis in the left lower leg amputation wound of a patient with diabetes: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMycoplasma hominis is typically found on the mucosal epithelium of the human genital tract, with infections being rare. However, when the mucosal barrier is compromised or in individuals with weakened immune systems, this microorganism can trigger infections in both intragenital and extragenital sites. This study offers a comprehensive overview of infections caused by the rare pathogen M. hominis. This overview helps laboratories identify M. hominis infections in a timely manner, thereby enabling earlier clinical intervention for patients. CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old Taiwanese man with type 2 diabetes mellitus initially underwent a left lower extremity amputation following a severe infection caused by necrotizing fasciitis. Subsequently, a poorly healing wound developed at the site of amputation. Upon culturing the wound abscess, M. hominis was isolated and identified as the causative agent.
conclusionsThrough this case, we present clinical and microbiological observations along with a review of the literature to deepen our understanding of M. hominis. Our findings can be used to develop laboratory diagnostic protocols and innovative therapeutic approaches.
