Chronic refractory ulcer caused by Edwardsiella tarda: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC infectious diseases, 2026. 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
backgroundPost-traumatic Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) infections usually have an acute course. Chronic infection is rare. We report a chronic refractory ulcer caused by E. tarda after a freshwater stingray injury. CASE PRESENTATION: A previously healthy 32-year-old male diver sustained a stingray barb puncture wound to the right knee. The wound remained inflamed despite initial treatment and progressed to a deep ulcer with an 8-cm sinus tract. Bacterial culture confirmed E. tarda. Treatment included repeated surgical debridement, negative pressure wound therapy, and intravenous cefuroxime sodium based on susceptibility testing. The wound healed completely after three months, leaving a linear hypertrophic scar.
conclusionsE. tarda infection should be considered in aquatic animal-related wounds, even in immunocompetent patients. Early pathogen identification, thorough debridement, and targeted antimicrobial therapy are essential. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
