Intramedullary spinal cord abscess due to disseminated hypermucoviscous
Article in Heliyon, 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
Background: Intramedullary spinal cord abscess (ISCA) is a rare and serious condition with high disability and mortality rates. Case presentation: A 58-year-old man with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes presented with a 4-day history of fever, fatigue and loss of appetite, accompanied by urinary frequency and urgency. A contrast computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis revealed abscesses in multiple organs including the lung, renal subcapsular, and prostate. Over following 8 days, the patient experienced with urodynia, back pain, dysuria and bilateral lower limb weakness. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spinal also showed multiple abscesses. Cultures of blood, urine, and pus from the prostate abscesses grew Conclusion: This case emphasizes the need to consider ISCA in disseminated hmKp infection patients with back pain and neurological deficits. Timely identification and antibiotic treatment may obviate the need for surgical intervention.
