Ultrasound diagnosis of cutaneous furuncular myiasis in a nonendemic area.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Cutaneous myiasis is an uncommon diagnosis in nonendemic regions and may be overlooked in returning travelers with nonspecific dermatologic complaints. We present a case of cutaneous furuncular myiasis in a 14-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with a neck mass 3 months after returning from Costa Rica after failed treatment with antibiotics and ivermectin. Ultrasonography showed an ovoid structure with a hyperechoic core with visible segmentations and surrounding hypoechoic rim; dynamic movement of the larva was not observed. Color Doppler demonstrated flow within the structure itself and in the surrounding subcutaneous tissue. CT was obtained as an adjunct to ultrasonography to examine the extent of regional inflammation and the larva's relationship to adjacent vascular and deep soft-tissue structures. This case highlights the role of targeted ultrasound in the identification of cutaneous myiasis in a nonendemic, emergency setting, to help avoid misclassification and treatment delay.
