A Longstanding Case of Black Grain Mycetoma in a Somalian Male Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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 chronic granulomatous infection predominantly affecting young individuals, characterized by painless swelling and often misdiagnosed due to its resemblance to other conditions. This case report presents the first documented instance of eumycetoma located in the buttock of a 44-year-old male patient from Somalia, a region with limited literature on this disease. The patient exhibited a 10-year history of indurated swelling, which progressed to the discharge of dark granules, leading to the diagnosis of black grain eumycetoma. Comprehensive diagnostic methods, including imaging and histopathological analysis, were used, confirming the fungal etiology. Surgical excision followed, alongside antifungal therapy, resulting in significant improvement. This case emphasizes the necessity for increased awareness and consideration of mycetoma in clinical practice, especially in atypical presentations and underreported geographical areas.
