Psoas muscle abscess as initial manifestation of disseminated tuberculosis in a previously healthy man: a case report.
Article in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 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
Psoas muscle abscess is an insidious disease, with varied clinical manifestations and a challenging diagnosis. This pathology has been more frequently identified due to the increased availability of high-quality radiological imaging, such as computed tomography. In Brazil, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most common secondary etiologic agent of psoas abscess. We report the case of a 28-year-old immunocompetent man diagnosed with disseminated tuberculosis, affecting the lungs, lumbar spine, and psoas muscle, leading to permanent locomotion sequelae. This case is very relevant for osteoarticular complaints, as low back pain and limping were the initial symptoms. Diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage of the psoas muscle abscess and detection of the M. tuberculosis complex via Xpert MTB/RIF. A 12-month treatment with antitubercular drugs was effective.
