Actinomadura welshii sp. nov., a New Mycetoma Agent in Mexico.
Article in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Actinomadura isolates obtained from seven human mycetoma cases in Mexico were characterized using nucleotide sequence analysis of a portion of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene. Most isolates were identified as Actinomadura madurae. However, one isolate, LIID-AQ337, showed inconclusive results. To determine its identity, genomic DNA from LIID-AQ337 was subjected to whole-genome sequencing using both short- and long-read sequencing, resulting in a genome of 8,163,638-bp spread in 22 contigs. Comparative analysis against currently available genomes of other Actinomadura species suggested that LIID-AQ337 belongs to a new Actinomadura species. We propose to name it Actinomadura welshii sp. nov in honor of Oliverio Welsh, a Mexican dermatologist dedicated to mycetoma studies in Mexico.
