Mycoplasma hominis infections in deep sternal wound infections post-cardiac surgery: insights from three case reports.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPostoperative deep sternal wound infections (DSWIs) following cardiac surgery are increasingly common due to various factors, including high tension at the sternotomy site and the presence of obesity. While Mycoplasma hominis primarily colonizes the urogenital tract, it can cause opportunistic infections, including surgical wound infections, particularly in patients with specific risk factors such as immunosuppression or surgical trauma. CASE PRESENTATION: In this study, we reported three cases of post-cardiac surgery DSWIs attributable to M. hominis. The clinical symptoms manifested in these patients were fever accompanied by clear exudate from the wound, with elevated C-reactive protein levels evident in serological tests. It is noteworthy that all three patients achieved significant therapeutic outcomes following the application of active surgical debridement and the administration of quinolone antibiotics for a duration exceeding two weeks.
conclusionsThese cases underscore the importance of recognizing the clinical features and effective treatment strategies for DSWIs caused by M. hominis, thereby warranting increased clinical awareness and attention. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
