Pyogenic Myositis: A Fulminant Presentation in an Immunocompromised Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Pyomyositis, a purulent infection of an individual muscle group, is an infrequent condition, mostly occurring in immunocompromised patients. It is often caused by Staphylococcus aureus and most of the time restricted to a single muscle group, with disseminated presentations being exceptionally rare. We present a case of severe pyogenic myositis with disseminated muscle involvement, presenting as a septic shock in an immunocompromised patient. The case highlights the importance of considering pyomyositis in the differential diagnosis of a patient with hematogenous dissemination of a pyogenic agent and sustained muscle complaints. A prompt radiological diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment are often necessary for a good functional outcome.
