Novel Case of Primary Psoas Abscess With No Associated Risk Factors.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 abscess is an uncommon and often difficult condition to diagnose due to its vague and variable symptoms. While certain signs such as fever, back pain, and difficulty walking may be associated with it, they are not consistently present in all cases. These abscesses can arise spontaneously or as a result of an underlying condition. Spontaneous cases are more frequently observed in individuals with compromised immune systems or other chronic health issues, although they may occasionally occur without any clear predisposing factors. We describe a case involving a 36-year-old male without known underlying conditions who developed a spontaneous psoas abscess. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a broad diagnostic perspective, even when conventional risk factors are absent, and raises the possibility that other, less well-defined contributors to this condition may exist.
