Successfully treated a rare case of amebic mediastinal abscess complicated by a pseudoaneurysm of the right subclavian artery.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 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
Amebiasis, caused by Entamoeba histolytica, is an intestinal disease that can lead to severe complications such as ulcers and abscesses. While the intestine is most commonly affected, extraintestinal involvement is also possible. However, mediastinal amebiasis remains rare. This case report details a patient with amebiasis who developed an amebic mediastinal abscess, which subsequently ruptured into the pleural cavity, resulting in bilateral empyema and a pseudoaneurysm of the right subclavian artery. Treatment was promptly initiated with metronidazole, alongside closed pleural drainage. Additionally, endovascular stent placement was performed to address the right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm. The patient was discharged in good health on the 37th postoperative day. The treatment approach described offers valuable clinical insights for frontline healthcare providers.
