Actinomyces causing psoas abscess: Case report of a peculiar forgotten disease.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Actinomycosis is a very peculiar suppurative and fibrosing infection prevalent in the developing countries. Diagnosis of actinomycosis is a challenging and lengthy process because of the vague clinical signs and lack of proper tests in the routine laboratories. Here, we present a very intriguing case of an adult male presenting to the surgery outpatient department (OPD) with a gluteal mass and flank tenderness. The case was investigated with full work up and later, finally diagnosed as a case of psoas abscess due to actinomycetes. Early diagnosis and prompt initiation of the chemotherapy in such rare cases will not only negate the deleterious effects of this disease but will also improve the quality of life of the patient. This case report can prove to be an essential guide and aid to the primary care physicians in diagnosing this relatively uncommon pathogen and early intervention in the form of chemotherapy as well as referral to higher centres will prove to be highly beneficial for the patient.
