Comprehensive management of actinomycetoma in a young male: A case report from Somalia.
Article in IDCases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease that predominantly affects individuals in low socioeconomic strata, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. This case report describes a 20-year-old male student from Bahdo City, Somalia, who presented with a persistent cervical mass following a history of trauma. The patient exhibited vital signs within normal limits, and imaging studies, including ultrasound and computed tomography, revealed well-defined cystic masses. A Fine Needle Aspiration cytology confirmed the diagnosis of actinomycetoma by revealing sheets of neutrophils, multinucleated giant cells, and branching filamentous bacteria structures. The patient was treated with co-trimoxazole and amikacin, resulting in significant improvement after three months, highlighting the critical role of early diagnosis and appropriate medical management in enhancing patient outcomes. This report emphasizes the importance of thorough clinical evaluation and the use of cytological methods, particularly in resource-limited settings, to expedite the diagnosis and treatment of actinomycetoma.
