A large iliopsoas abscess due to migration of ureteral stent: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Due to its nonspecific clinical presentation and low incidence, IPA often leads to diagnostic delays and suboptimal initial management. Secondary IPA originating from urinary tract complications is extremely rare, and IPA induced by ureteral stent migration appears to be exceptionally uncommon. Fungal IPA caused by Case presentation: We report a 63-year-old woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and prior colon cancer surgery that involved partial ureteral resection and ureteral stent implantation 6 months ago. The patient later developed IPA, which was successfully managed with dual ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage, ureteral stent exchange, and systemic antimicrobial therapy. Cultures of the drained abscess and urine both yielded Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective treatment modality for IPA. This case highlights that ureteral stent migration, though typically managed uneventfully, may precipitate severe septic sequelae including IPA, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
